It will go down in history as one of the most consequential cuts in Colorado Rockies franchise history, only behind Matt Holliday‘s bloody chin as he slid head first into home plate to advance into the 2007 postseason. This time though, there is no doubt that Arenado touched home plate to rally in the bottom of the ninth to win 7-5. The mob that meets him at the dish make sure of that. After giving him a cut any fighter would be proud to wear, his teammates wash it away with a blue Powerade bath.
It didn’t seem physically possible to feel more goosebumps until the crowd started bellowing a “MVP’ roar of their own.
