Twelve months ago, Howie Kendrick was fresh off his NLDS-winning grand slam and about to become NLCS MVP for the Washington Nationals after tormenting the St. Louis Cardinals.
Kendrick was already on cloud nine before he was able to slice a ball down the right field-line at Minute Maid Park.
The doink of the foul pole sent Nats fans around the world into absolute delirium and marked the most memorable moment in franchise history.
He never has to worry about buying himself a well-earned beer in the nation’s capital again.
