And if you look on his Baseball-Reference page, you will see that his
most similar batter is, yes, Cepeda. Lee was no Cepeda. But he was
good.The 2017 Roy Oswalt Youth Jersey season in Major League Baseball combined mighty swings, never-say-die
grit, walk-off triumphs and edge-of-your-seat drama. At the end of a
long season and one of the game's most memorable Octobers, one team was
standing: The Houston Astros, who won the World Series for the first
time in franchise history.
But 14 other American League teams also had their own climactic moments.
In consultation with each club's beat reporter, here are the games of
the year for every AL club in 2017:
Angels: 10-9 win on April 9 vs. Mariners
Albert Pujols picked the Scott Feldman Youth Jersey right time to belt his first home run of the season -- and the 592nd of
his record-breaking career -- with a leadoff jack in the ninth inning
that sparked a seven-run comeback. The Angels batted around back to
Pujols, and the veteran tied the game with a two-run single. Cliff
Pennington then capped the Angels' sweep of the Mariners on the sixth
walk-off hit of his career Game 5 of the World Series proved baseball
can be wildly unpredictable. Tony Kemp Youth Jersey Fans saw seven home runs in a game that started with a duel between two
Cy Young Award winners in Clayton Kershaw and Dallas Keuchel. Both
emotions and baseballs were flying high as the Astros hit three
game-tying home runs ... and then blew the lead in the ninth.
But Alex Bregman was not giving up. The third baseman hit a walk-off
single into left field off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, who finished
the regular season with a MLB-leading 41 saves. The Astros won one of
the most epic games of the Fall Classic.
