There was a controversy during the game tonight. The Blue Jays were on the brink of
elimination. They had to win the game to
stay alive. With score tied late in the
game, the Texas Rangers had a runner on third base. The catcher was throwing the ball back to the
pitcher and he hit the bat of the batter.
The ball rolled out into the infield and the runner ran home to take the
lead. They have to review the play and
get a decision from headquarters but the decision was that the run would
stand. There was a delay of the game
because the fans were mad and were throwing things on the field. Later in the game, Jose Batista hit a 3 run
home run to win the game for the Blue Jays.
He was so happy he threw his bat and the picture went viral on the
internet for the next few days. I
thought if the Blue Jays had lost the game and been eliminated from the
playoffs, there would be riots in the streets of Toronto.
Fortunately, the Blue Jays won and later went on to the League
Championships.
