What a moment.
One day, you are sitting on the bench in what felt like a gut-punch defeat after Game 5 of the World Series. The next, you hit a game-tying home run with only two outs remaining in Game 7.
The 12-year veteran topped Freddie Freeman’s legendary walk-off from Game 1 of last year’s World Series in the most unexpected fashion. Rojas had gone an entire month without clearing the fence, yet he picked the perfect moment to end his cold streak.
This home run is instantly a centerpiece of baseball history. As the Dodgers lifted their second trophy in as many years, Toronto is left to wonder if they should have walked him to face Shohei Ohtani instead. It’s a choice that will haunt the Blue Jays forever.
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
