“Unbelievable.” That’s how Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote described it.
Bases were loaded. Two outs. Two strikes. The Chicago Cubs had surrendered the lead to the Washington Nationals, 3-0, and it looked like they were ready to take the loss lying down.
No compatible source was found for this media.
So when Bote’s grand slam sailed 442 feet into the seats at Wrigley Field on Sunday night, handing the Cubs a 4-3 win, he wasn’t just committing something unbelievable.
The Golden Homer — a walkoff grand slam with two outs and two strikes, down by three runs — is a rare species of baseball moment.
