The first Sox player ever to hit a walkoff HR against the Yanks?

Capra couldn't have wrote a more perfect ending

I missed this last night.

I could’ve done without Costner wandering around the field for 2min like a dementia patient before the players show up, but once they did, it was worth it.

LOL. Yeah, that was a little strange.

It was done in such a manner and the game was so good that if MLB ever tries to do this again, it will never measure up.

The game was perfect and no one can honestly say they didn't get chills when the players appeared.

LOL. Yeah, that was a little strange.

Yeah...it probably worked better on paper.

Another historic White Sox moment.

Agreed. It was fine if Kostner walked out by himself, and like 20 seconds later the players followed. I get they were trying to re-create the scene when Ray Liotta/Shoeless Joe walked into the field for the first time. But he certainly didn't need to be there for half of the soundtrack on his own.




A comment on the 9th, Tim Anderson is going to get all the credit in the world and rightly so. But he doesn't get to the plate as the winning run without perhaps the best at bat of the ballgame by Seby Zavala. Down 0-2, he takes a pitch that most guys would whiff at, fouls one off, then takes three outside of the zone to draw the walk. Two of the three weren't bad pitches. He's hitting 9th, is basically your 3rd catcher yet the Sox don't win without him walking and hitting a HR yesterday. IMO, that solidifies his spot on the roster for the rest of the year. Collins goes down when Grandal comes back.

It was a cool setting, but if they do this every year it's going to get old quickly. It will turn into another version of the NHL football stadium game.
