"I think I do a pretty good job of separating fandom, being a fan, and managing a ballclub. But I think in that moment, I just turned into a fan. A Miguel Rojas, a Dodger fan, and I was just thanking the Lord for this great moment and thanking him for giving Miguel this great moment in his career."
"Rojas had hit only one home run in the postseason before his game-tying blast against the Blue Jays, making it all the more special for the veteran infielder and his teammates. Rojas became the first player in MLB history to hit a game-tying homer in the ninth inning or later of a World Series Game 7. The home run was even more significant considering Rojas nearly missed the contest due to a rib injury. Tommy Edman said earlier this offseason that Rojas' home run is one of the most iconic moments in World Series history and believes no player deserved it more."
