"Game 7 of the World Series was unbelievable,"
"Because nobody believed that I was able to hit a home run in the ninth inning with one out, and in that spot. No way."
"That was one of the most shocking World Series home runs I've ever seen,"
"Here I was thinking, 'Well, Ohtani's on deck, so he doesn't want to walk him.' Never in my mind did I ever think that he was going to hit a home run. It was even more shocking to me than the Rajai Davis home run off [Aroldis] Chapman in 2016."
Miguel Rojas hit a ninth-inning, one-out home run in Game 7 of the World Series that tied the game. Rojas worked a full count and launched the seventh pitch, a slider left over the plate by Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman, over the left-field bullpen at the Rogers Centre. The shot stunned 44,000 fans in the ballpark and an estimated 51 million viewers watching on television. The homer is widely regarded as one of the most shocking and highly leveraged World Series hits, drawing comparisons to Rajai Davis's 2016 blast and Kirk Gibson's 1988 home run.
