I saw today that the Rojas homer,...

...the Will Smith homer, and the game-ending double play were 3 of the 15 highest leverage plays in the history of WS/LCS winner-take-all games (i.e. the highest leverage plays in the highest leverage games). And for me the Pages catch is the play that I will remember above anything else. (Well, that and the force out at home immediately preceding it that literally almost decided the WS on an instant replay.) The Pages catch wasn't as high as leverage play because there were already two outs, but...my God. The highest wire act I can ever remember really in a do-or-die situation. It was like there was a guy trying to reenact the Mays catch from 1954, except to keep the WS alive, and maybe he was going to do it maybe not, but then another guy comes in and obliterated him in the process of making a Randy Moss catch. Could not believe what I was seeing, I will literally never forget it.

It was 47 years ago in October 1978 that Bucky Dent hit the 3 Run Home Run

You left out Bucky F’n Dent’s middle name.**

Toronto truly blew 2 easy extra innings chances.

I keep watching the replay to see if Kike would have made the catch. LOL

Toronto outplayed them in pitching, hitting, etc

Home field advantage was practically nil.**

Yet I thought Toronto was pretty loud until the HR to tie the game..**

They said something like 13 of the last 15 WS were clinched on the road.

Wow. It was worse than I thought.**
