While watching the inning that shall forever be known around MLB as “the 7th inning” (not to be confused with the more recent David Price/Aaron Loup/Ryan Goins 7th inning from the ALCS), much of Toronto was steaming over that bizarre play in which Russell Martin‘s throw back to the pitcher hit the batter’s bat, and the go-ahead run was allowed to score.
However, what captured my attention took place several minutes, several bench-clearing brawls and several video reviews later. In the bottom of the 7th, with emotions and adrenaline high, Russell Martin leads off and gets aboard thanks to an error by Elvis Andrus.
