Seeing the Chicago Cubs pull off a four-run, ninth rally to win their NLDS series on Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants made me feel left out of the post-season party. Re-watching the Kansas City Royals win 9-6 in their 2015 ALDS Game 4 match-up against Houston cheered me right up.
Was it a more thrilling victory than the Cubs’ win? In my biased opinion: yes! The Kansas City Royals faced elimination. The Cubs would have gone back to Chicago for Game 5 if they lost to the Giants. On the other hand, the Cubs did pull off their rally in the ninth, which is even more poetic than an eighth-inning comeback.
