On October 8, Jose Ramirez—perennial All-Star and MVP vote-getter who will probably warrant consideration on the Hall of Fame ballot when he retires—smacked a two-run home run in the Wild Card series for the Cleveland Guardians against the Tampa Bay Rays. It was the difference maker in a 2-1 win that put the Guardians in the driver’s seat to win the series, and one of those great moments that makes postseason baseball its own animal.
There was, of course, one not-so-tiny problem: that moment, and the game, were buried. Yes, it was carried nationally.
