Wow, what a game. I’m exhausted. ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > Ultimately didn’t make a difference Yup. With guys on second on third, a solid single would have finished the game anyway; the runner on first was superfluous, and allowed for a possible force-out play at home. ---

Nevertheless, it was the first walk off grand slam ever in a World Series game. ---

Perhaps they’ll be fans of the London Kings, and [Buck Bokai](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Buck_Bokai).

Tigers fan here, but pulling for the Dodgers over the Yankees. What an ending. Reminded me of Kirk Gibson. ---

19-year-old Pearle Peterson just _nailed_ the national anthem! Nice!! 🇺🇸 (I’m a singer: that song isn’t easy at all!) ---

Soto Homer ties it back up. Judge looks off, this is bad. This game is going to give me heartburn. ---

Judge is slumping at a perfect time of the season. Yankees did that with three batters slumping when the Sox (whooo!) came back in 2004. Today, Dave Roberts is managing, their old buddy Mookie… ---

> [@What\_Exit](#): > > What was that crap holding up the game? ISTM a bit unusual I believe to have a guest-star performance immediately before play, as opposed to in the middle of the whole pregame tributes/anthem/first pitch/etc. rituals. But hey, West Coast, represent. Though I gotta smile that in 2024 _Ice Cube_ is mainstream enough for baseball. > [@What\_Exit](#): > > This game is going to give me heartburn. I hope you’re well stocked with Pepcid. It’s looking like a longball evening. ---
