8 years ago, I was fortunate enough to witness, in-person, one of the better win or go home games in recent memory.

Of course, I am talking about the 2016 AL Wild Card game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles.

Edwin Encarnacion destroying a first pitch offering from Ubaldo Jimenez in a 2-2 game in the bottom of the 11th while Zack Britton, baseball’s best reliever that season, sat and watched in the Orioles bullpen because manager Buck Showalter was saving him for a save opportunity that never came.

It was pandemonium inside the clubhouse that night.

Postseason baseball is truly second to none.
