The night of late inning heroics! The surging Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees went into extra innings and Adam Kennedy came through in the bottom of the 12 inning off a nasty slider from the master Mariano Rivera with a bloop single to win the game 5-4.
We do have runner-ups today!
The night also produced a Milwaukee Brewers win over the defending World Series champions San Francisco Giants with a 9th inning bunt sacrifice by Jonathan Lucroy.
Chipper Jones wanted to show he was not getting showed up so in the 12th inning he singles in the go ahead run to help the Atlanta Braves take down the Cincinnati Reds.
All three players deserve the "Baseball Babe Award", but I am going with utility journeyman Adam Kennedy for him slapping the slider of the great one Mariano Rivera.
Runner-ups: Chipper Jones and Jonathan Lucroy!
