It took me a lot more time than I wanted to spend to figure out what the deal is here. Did they win the World Series? No, it appears to be the second game of the best-of-5 pennant race, right?
I liked the old knee-pants and stirrup-sock style of uniform much better. These guys look like they are playing in their pajamas.
Part of what makes it look that way is the fact that the guy closest to the camera, Manny Ramirez, has a thing about wearing uniform pieces that don't fit that he stole from other players, or he used to. Now I think he just wears the wrong size but they are his.
And you are correct about second game best of 5. But this is better than this team has done in a while.
And it was a particularly dramatic moment. It's the narrative of baseball that, in some ways, I find most compelling. The story of ever at-bat, every inning, every game, every season, every team's history.
