Yankees-Dodgers.
Some of the best players in the game.
Extra Innings.
A Walk-Off Grand Slam 10th inning lead change.
Well, for baseball, that’s the script. We’ll see how much Baseball Is Back after that one, but this is the shot in the arm the sport actually needs.
I’m not sure baseball has solved its problem of late starts and games too long – I understand the game went to extras, but I actually fell asleep 3x after the 7th inning (woken up by Joe Davis) and even fell asleep in the 10th inning. Fortunately I woke up to see the bases were loaded and there were 2 outs, so I did catch the grand slam and Joe’s meh call. (Better than Gary Cohen doing his John Sterling impression, nowhere near as good as Jack Buck’s Kirk Gibson call.)
Also, can someone explain Ken Rosenthal to me? I’m sure he’s lovely and The Baseball Mafia seems to love him, but I don’t get him as a TV personality.
Anyway, baseball was back for 4 hours – tonight should be fun.
