As baseball fans, each and every one of us lives for moments like we had at Wrigley Field Wednesday evening, a game in which our team seems headed for an inevitable, crushing defeat and then in a matter of just a few seconds, we are all sent into indescribable joy.
Or, as a friend of mine texted me right after Christopher Morel’s stunning three-run walkoff home run that gave the Cubs an incredible 4-3 win, that this game was:
140 minutes of frustration followed by a momentary flash of pure bliss.
Indeed, you can see some of that “pure bliss” in Morel absolutely tearing around the bases.
