Throughout the year, musicians gathered en-masse to show their support for a variety of global causes through collaborative singles (“Sun City,” “We Are the World”) and concerts (Live Aid, Farm Aid). He grounded out weakly to Bryant to extend the Indians’ parade-less run to 68 years.Designated by the UN as “International Youth Year,” 1985 certainly proved the power of youth culture – specifically when it came to musicians using albums and their voices for change. Martinez’s fielding never came into play, though, and in the bottom of the 10th, with Davis as the tying run on first base and two outs, Francona had to let Martinez hit. Francona clearly wanted Martinez’s defense out there. 197/.241/.266 slash line, entered the game in right field in the ninth, after Heyward reached third base with one out on a stolen base and Yan Gomes’ throwing error. The Indians’ Michael Martinez, the owner of a career. With the Cubs bringing in their infield, Carlos Santana ripped a line drive just a few inches over the glove of leaping first baseman Anthony Rizzo to score Crisp for a tie game. In the bottom of the third, Coco Crisp led off with a double, and Roberto Perez laid down a beautiful sacrifice bunt, advancing the runner to third. You knew the Indians wouldn’t be fazed by Kluber’s early shakiness. Then Kluber went back out for the fifth … and served up a solo homer to Baez. Even with a fully rested bullpen, Francona let Kluber take the mound for the fourth … and the Cubs scored two runs. Normally a groundball and strikeout master with his two-seamer, he allowed 10 line drives and fly balls to 11 batters over the first three innings yet kept his team close with just a 1-0 deficit.

An amazing play - and a victory for the merits of aggressive defensive positioning.īut right before that play, with Heyward on third and one out, the Cubs’ Javier Baez struck out when he tried to bunt on a full count. Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor, shaded considerably toward center field, grabbed the ball and quickly fired to first to end the inning. The Cubs’ Jason Heyward stood on third base with two outs in the ninth inning, the game newly tied at 6-6, when leadoff hitter Dexter Fowler sent a grounder up the middle.

Players successfully tagged up just nine times. There were 103 instances this year in which a fly ball of less than 235 feet was caught by an outfielder with a runner on third and less than two outs. Kris Bryant, seeing this, tagged and sprinted for home, and he scored rather easily for a 2-1 Cubs lead as Davis unleashed a high throw.Īccording to Statcast, as per MLB.com, Russell’s ball traveled just 232 feet. Nevertheless, Indians center fielder Rajai Davis and left fielder Coco Crisp both went after the ball, and by the time Davis established his territory, he had poor footing. Off the bat, it appeared Indians pitcher Corey Kluber did his job, preventing the sacrifice fly. With the game tied at 1-1 in the top of the fourth inning, with one out and Cubs on first and third, Addison Russell sent a fly ball to shallow center field. So here are some of the overlooked moments that will surely be mentioned in the many books, documentaries and tribute songs to come: The Cubs’ 10-inning, 8-7 victory produced moments at a fast and furious pace (excepting the rain delay), and The Post did the best it could to cover what we deemed the most important stuff.

You need to see the classic again, or at least to contemplate it again, to fully appreciate overlooked gems like those above from classic films. Jimmy Two Times saying, “I’m gonna go get the papers, get the papers” in “Goodfellas.”Ī classic becomes a classic in part because it features a slew of memorable moments - too many, usually, for the human brain to absorb from just one viewing.
