One strike, one out away from history. Of all the players to have to make the clinching defensive play, few would be more capable than the one with a glove trimmed in gold.
Seager had mentioned two days earlier how impressed he was with Mike Trout’s ability to remain calm in the most dire moments.
Then the Blue Jays’ Josh Donaldson scored a ground ball to Seager’s left, with pitcher James Paxton needing one more out for history and with every fan in Toronto’s Rogers Centre, heck, maybe all of Canada and Seattle, standing in reverence.
Nervous?
