Picking the 10 best games of the season was a daunting task, but thanks
to our friends at MLB Network we came up with an exemplary list that
represents Alex Bregman Youth Jersey what makes games great: The stakes, the memorable moments and the rare
feats that fans remember the most.
Here is a look at the 10 best games of 2017:
1. Oct. 29, World Series Game 5: Astros 13, Dodgers 12
What made it special: This unforgettable classic that immediately landed
in the annals of all-time great Fall Classic games featured one serious
roller-coaster ride of huge home runs and momentum swings. In the end,
Alex Bregman's walk-off single in the 10th inning, after 5 hours and 17
minutes, Andrew Aplin Youth Jersey won it for Houston, helping clear the way for its eventual seven-game
triumph.
How it happened: The Astros fell behind at several points, by scores of
4-0, 7-4 and 8-7, but each time they hit home runs to tie the game. Los
Angeles later pulled its own trick, facing a 12-9 deficit in the ninth
inning, but getting a Yasiel Puig two-run homer and a Chris Taylor RBI
single to tie the game at 12. Then, Bregman worked his magic, singling
to left off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen to score pinch-runner Derek
Fisher Andy Pettitte Youth Jersey and end the second-longest game in World Series history, sending an
emotionally-drained Minute Maid Park crowd into the night's final
frenzy.
"It's an unbelievable moment," Bregman said. "You dream about it as a
little kid. To be living a dream, one win away from the World Series, is
really special."
2. Aug. 1: Red Sox 12, Indians 10
What made it special: This back-and-forth epic featured two eventual
American League division winners in the packed, always-special
environment of Fenway Park, and was highlighted by one of the best
defensive plays in the Major Leagues all season -- Austin Jackson's
wild, flip-over-the-bullpen-wall-and-rob-a-sure-homer catch -- plus a
walk-off dinger as the cherry on top.
