Game 7 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays had more than its fair share of memorable moments, not the least of which was the game-tying homer from light-hitting infielder Miguel Rojas that kept the Dodgers' title defense alive in the top of the ninth inning.
Rojas' clutch blast had shades of Bill Mazeroski's iconic Game 7 walk-off homer for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1960. The moments mirror one another in spirit, even if not in exact circumstance. Both swings transcend box-score numbers, and they symbolize the heartbeat of baseball’s drama – the unlikely hero who changes everything with one perfectly timed swing.
