If you ask me to think of crazy endings to World Series games, this one will immediately come to mind. Journeyman Brett Phillips up to bat, runners on 1st and 2nd, 2 outs. I distinctly remember Joe Buck saying Phillips hadn’t even played in the ALCS. The count eventually reaches 1-2, down to the last strike. Then, it happens. Phillips hits a single into the gap, Chris Taylor fumbles the ball, then gets it into the infield when Arozarena is stumbling between 3rd and home, only for Will Smith to drop the ball and Randy to slide into home while hitting home plate. An absolutely insane ending to an incredible game punctuated by Phillips’s instantly iconic airplane celebration. Fun fact: Phillips has said that he was so out of breath after that he needed an IV. This series was the Rays vs. The Rays with money, so naturally most people were rooting for Tampa Bay. The Dodgers still had a choking reputation at the time and this moment and game made many believe the Rays could actually win it.

The greatest moment in the history of the Tampa Bay Rays, not counting Game 162. What a magical run this was for them, that whole squad brings back memories.

ITS FINALLY ON RATEGAME!!! The game that made me a Rays fan! For those of you who don't know which might be all of you I got into baseball during covid and I love to root for the underdog and boy were these guys underdogs this game was absolute insanity! It's not a stretch to say that this game is why I'm watching baseball to this day. They might have lost this series but they'll have a fan forever in me because of this game! I miss you both Phillips and Arozerana 🥹. We'll win this year in your honor!!!
