Sports junkies will have a feast tonight as the Houston Astors and the Los Angeles Dodgers face off in the last game of a best of 7 series. Last night's game did not contain the fireworks of the other 5 games, but it stirred the locals into a frenzy of excitement that will carry through into Game 7.
The last Game 7 for the Dodgers franchise came many years ago, 1965 to be exact. Sandy Koufax was the star. It has been since 1988 that the Dodgers were in a Series, so this long drought is over in one respect. Now a victory would seal the contract for the team and the fans.
Nothing will be held back: "There is no tomorrow". Managers AJ Hinch and Dave Roberts both know -"It's all or nothing". The winner takes all. To the victors go the spoils, etc.,etc., etc. There will be heroes and goats on both sides. One pitcher will throw the last pitch, one or two players will record the last out; one player will score the winning run, and some lucky player will hold the ball that made the game end.
It's only a game, but what a game.
