    Not since Kirk Gibson's blast.........

    first time ever when trailing by more than two runs in the ninth is mlb post-season history.....

    I didn't think it was over until the ninth inning with two outs when pena whiffed and went down in the count 0-2 (after a terrible call strike on an outside fastball a pitch before).... didn't see him recovering and getting that base hit..... glad he did, as it set up that epic f'n blast:

    I could have done without the bat flipping, "Hey everybody, look at me, look what I just did" attention whoring theatrics after he smashed that ball. I feel bad for that baseball, seriously, what did that horsehide ever do to Alvarez to get smacked like that.

    Oh yeah, one of the clutchest homers you'll ever see.
    Only Bucky Dent, Joe Carter, and Kirk Gibson come to mind, and speaking of Gibson, I could have done without that 'double clutch' of his when he was trotting around the bases between first and second.

    I suppose I'm still old school, when I was a kid when you scored a TD after crossing the goal line you hand the ball to the ref, and when you hit a HR, you just put your head down, ran around the bases at normal speed, round third, slap the third base coach's hand, and go back to your dugout.

    Jose Bautista always did that shit like Alvarez did with the bat flip.
    You keep doing that shit, this is what you get.

    geeze, did odor used to box? what a shot.... thought he was goin' down.....

    alvarez usually a very cool character; seemed almost out of character with the bat flip.... then again, not since Gibson's blast has such a homer been hit in the post season.... no excuse, but I get it....

    also, what I remember most about Gibson's h.r., which I rewatched (scully's full nine minute call) tonight, is that double clutched fist pump roundin' second.... I got that, too.... pretty epic....
