I've witnessed the greatest game 7 in World Series history. The Dodgers came back to beat the Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings. But it was the cinematic 9th inning that will go down in baseball lore. After the Dodgers tied the game in the top half of the ninth, they made two incredible defensive plays in a row to send it to extra innings. Both plays were with the bases loaded. Both plays saw the Blue Jays come inches short of winning the World Series.
The first play was a ground ball to second, which ended with a throw out at home plate. That play was so close it looked like a tie.
It's at this point that I must mention the precog dream I had about Ernie Clement coming up to the plate and something big about to happen. I woke up before that big thing happened, but it was the exact same situation. Clement launched the ball to left center, where two Dodgers collided at full speed, yet somehow the center fielder held on to the ball. That saved a run from scoring and sent the game to extra innings, where the Dodgers won the World Series on a solo home run.
It is easily the best baseball game I have ever seen and it's even more wild that I had a precog dream about it this morning. It was spooky to watch as the ninth inning developed how events were happening that led to the dream coming true. I mean Clement was like the seventh batter that inning and things had to align perfectly for him to get up without them scoring a run.
As it was happening, I told my son I saw this happen in a dream. And after it happened, I told him the Dodgers are going to win because my dream would have shown the Blue Jays doing something more dramatic otherwise. Not that my 6-year-old son had a clue what I was talking about, but I think he will remember that game the same way I will. I told him, this is a special moment, you'll never forget this, no matter who wins. That dream though, wow, it was so electric, just like the real stadium, and with the whole world watching. One of the most fascinating experiences of my life.
