“The Astros ended up winning 13–12 in a game that took 10 innings played over five hours and 17 minutes. It involved 14 pitchers, who gave up 28 hits, and seven home runs hit by seven different players.” And that seriously doesn’t even begin to describe the madness of game five — arguably the most fun (and more certainly, the most weird) world series game of all time. From The Ringer: “I Feel Like I’m Going to Have a Heart Attack.” At one point, announcer Joe Buck told viewers: “For those of you just joining us, you’ve missed a lot.” That could be the tagline for 2017.

+ The big night ended on a game-winning hit by Alex Bregman, who is Jewish! (I’ve been embargoing that line for my entire life!)

+ And about that guy who ripped the home run ball out of another fan’s hands.
