Y’all still good there in Kansas City?
Everyone breathing? In your nose, out your mouth. This one isn’t over yet.
Alex Gordon belted a solo home run to deep center field in the bottom of the ninth to tie up Game 1 of the World Series between the Royals and New York Mets on Tuesday night and the entire area of Kansas City may have just lost their collective minds.
Check it out. It’s a good one:
Gordon’s game-tying hit wasn’t just good for Kansas City either. It was also pretty historic:
Last game-tying HR in 9th inning of a WS game was Scott Brosius in 2001. Alex Gordon’s HR was 14 years in the making. Game tied at 4.
It was the first time Jeurys Familia had given up a run for the Mets in the entire postseason. His last blown save came just over three months ago.
