1. What fun is an epic if you’re on the wrong end of it? Game 3 of the 2018 World Series was a classic — full of twists and turns and the brilliant and bizarre – even before the Dodgers’ Max Muncy put a big, fat exclamation point on it with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning. This was baseball lore creating itself in real time, one of those games that you’ll be seeing in full during some slow winter evening on the MLB Network a decade from now – especially if they have eight hours they need to fill since it lasted 7 hours and 20 minutes.
