After Game 1 of the World Series, in which the Toronto Blue Jays thumped the Los Angeles Dodgers and taunted Shohei Ohtani, it felt like New York Yankees icon Don Mattingly had as good a chance as ever to earn the ring that had eluded him across the course of his entire career. When the series flipped back to Toronto with the Jays needing just as single win to clinch, victory felt tantalizingly close. With the baseball in Jeff Hoffman's hands and a one-run lead in the ninth inning of Game 7, Mattingly probably couldn't help but be haunted by his wandering mind, wondering if he, personally, could curse the outcome with a joyous vision.
