Did we just see baseball’s version of Pete Carroll not giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch at the goal line?
The Tampa Bay Rays’ bold move to take out ace Blake Snell in the sixth inning of World Series Game 6 immediately backfired, as the Dodgers took the lead and ultimately eliminated the Rays with a 3-1 win, securing their first World Series title since 1988.
Snell had been cruising against the Dodgers, who lead the series 3-2 coming into Game 6. Before giving up his second hit of the night, Snell had struck out nine Dodgers hitters and carried a 1-0 lead.
