What’s funny is, I have no memory of the bat flip because I was in a university calculus exam when it happened. My family was calling me saying I missed such a huge moment. At least I was able to watch Edwin’s walk-off the year after.
Not sure why you’d only post the bottom half of the inning
There was some serious madness in the top too with the catcher incident and the fans littering the field with trash
I didn’t start seriously watching baseball till like the start of the 2018 season so I missed this, but I always go back every year and watch the whole inning.
For a new fan it’s like “hey you like Marijuana? Try some 100% pure heroin to get you started.”
I have so many thoughts.
My cheeks hurt while watching this because god damn this is baseball.
The field looks so different without the dirt lanes.
I miss that team man.
I miss Gibby.
I still wanna punch Smoak in the face for no apparent reason. Love him as a player, punchable face.
I love how the camera gets all shaky after Bautista’s hit, the camera guy was pumped haha
I’ve never heard the dome ***that*** loud.
We had 120 home runs that up to that point.
After Bautista gets back to the dugout, is Shapiro in there congratulating him? Looks like it.
This is indeed the greatest inning of baseball ever. Thanks OP.
I was at work trying to figure out why the seventh inning was taking so long and just keeping up to date on an app on my phone (The 7th inning was basically the last hour of my shift).
I was a puddle on the floor.
I’ll never forget GoGo hulking out when he touched the plate. I don’t even remember Jose Running the bases.
The jays were the second best team in baseball that year. They would have kicked the shit out of the Mets.
Fiiiiine I will watch this inning for the 653rd time.
I watch this entire inning at least once a year.
One of my favourite memories watching ball with my dad. I was losing my mind from stress then losing my mind from happiness 🤣
I remember watching most of the inning but missing the Bautista home run because my son ran into a wall and was bleeding a few minutes before it happened.
I’ll never forget this game…
At the top of the inning, I pulled on my headset AM radio and headed out for a 10K run. As I made my way around my usual loop, the tension continued to build.
Then Bautista hit his home run.
At that point, I was running along a quiet country road. Fully caught up with emotion, I stopped dead in my tracks and threw a huge fist pump. All of a sudden, I hear a car horn honking wildly and I look up to see the driver throwing fist pumps right back at me.
I’ll never forget sharing this inning with another Blue Jay fan in the middle of nowhere.
This along with Carter’s ’93 WS walkoff homerun are the 2 most iconic moments in Jays history (I personally have Carter’s walkoff ahead of this one). I wasn’t born quite yet when Jays won the WS in Oct. ’93.
Hard to believe it’s been 9 years, but I was watching this game from home live on TV. It was frustrating when the ball hit Choo’s bat and it lead to a run but the Jays fought back, never seen so many errors (especially Andrus) in a single inning on a playoff game. That whole inning is just wild. Sure miss those ’15 & ’16 Jays team.
