I might be a little late with this story — about two and a half years late — but I just heard it this spring and I figure better late than never.
If you’re a Royals fan you already know how Game 7 of the 2014 World Series ended: Alex Gordon hit what should have been a single and the San Francisco Giants misplayed the ball so badly Gordon wound up on third base.
Thousands of Royals fans wished third base coach Mike Jirschele had waved Gordon home … and so did one San Francisco Giant.
After the Giants outfield kicked the ball around a while, it wound up in the hands of shortstop Brandon Crawford.
