CLEVELAND — One of the most memorable games, if not the most memorable game, in baseball history featured a home run like no other.
Cleveland trailed by two runs in the eighth inning of Game 7 of the World Series, four outs away from having its season end with three straight losses after leading the series three games to one. Aroldis Chapman was on the mound for the Cubs, pumping slightly less than his usual triple-digit gas as Rajai Davis batted with Brandon Guyer, who had just driven home Jose Ramirez, on second base.
Davis, the American League leader in stolen bases this season, hit a career-high 12 home runs for Cleveland, but hadn’t gone deep since Aug.
