Did Yordan Alvarez just hit one of the most epic home runs in postseason history?
Alvarez launched a three-run, walk-off homer with the Astros trailing by two runs and down to their final out against the Mariners in Game 1 of the 2022 American League Division Series on Tuesday. It's the first walk-off home run in postseason history by a team trailing by multiple runs.
Alvarez's unprecedented feat prompted a look back at some of the greatest playoff home runs that came before him in AL/NL history.
After hitting a drive to deep right field, Josh Donaldson slapped hands with the first-base coach and rounded first. Only the ball had bounced off the top of the wall and back into play, sending Donaldson scrambling back to the bag.
The well-traveled Phillies and the well-rested Braves met on a sunny Tuesday afternoon at Truist Park, and they provided the first answers to a question that will require much more than just one game -- or one October -- to determine.
With no clear-cut answer as to who has been the best player from Cuba to play in the United States, our panel had a lot of players to consider when debating the question.
