This Is Worth Watching, Trust Me

Just to give you guys some brief context for what led up to this game, last year the Hard Bargains (known now as The News) had already clinched first place and were going to the championship series.  Egypt '84 (known now as The Dealers) finished the season tied with The Richmond Cleaners for second place.

This was the one game playoff that ensued.  Winner goes to the championship.  I don't remember the exact details but it was getting hairy at the end of the game.

And yes, that's yer boy making the calls behind the plate and making that dramatic out call to end it.

All that's fine but where the video really stands out is Sam tackling Kristina at home and then PUSHING HER BACK ONTO THE DIRT SO HE CAN CELEBRATE.  Vintage Sam Bull. (It's not possible this is where her knee issue started, is it? :/) (Also Sam's one-legged hop after tossing her back down lol, and strangely nimble!)

Also just noticed Danny standing and just sorta staring blankly at the celebration scrum on the mound, bat in hand.  It's sad and beautiful and poetic in the slo-mo version.

1:07 is where you wanna pay attention and then you get a much better look in full slo-mo.  So, so good.  (I think.)


Thanks Adrian for capturing this beautiful moment in time!
