Last week, the FOX Sports Twitter account specifically dedicated to baseball posted a moment in time that Astros fans would rather blissfully ignore. I would be perfectly fine never watching that clip again, but, alas, I know that is not possible in today’s media age.
Defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory that day. The chance of clinching the NL pennant in Houston disappeared with the loud crack of a bat, courtesy of Brad Lidge’s hanging slider. It was a swing that stunned an entire ballpark full of raging fans who were eagerly anticipating a World Series berth.
