アトランタ ブレーブス 6 対 ヒューストン アストロズ 7, F/18 — 2005 年のヒューストン アストロズは、40 人の名簿のほぼ全員がワイルドカードの出場権を獲得する必要があったため、アストロズの選手たちのるつぼから英雄が生まれたことも適切です。 . ブレーブスは8回にランス・バークマンがグランドスラムを放ち、9回にブラッド・オースマスが同点のソロシュートを放ち、6対1でリードしていた。 ゲームの後半には、ロジャー・クレメンスによる3イニングのリリーフが含まれ、15回に代打として登場し、彼のキャリアで2度目のリリーフでピッチングしました(今回はアストロズがピッチャーを欠いていたためだけに登場しました). )。 この壮大なドラマでの共同の努力は、多くのことで記憶されますが、メジャー リーグの歴史の中で最も長いポストシーズン ゲームだったという事実は最も重要ではありません。 また、バークマンとアダム・ラローシュの 2 つのグランドスラムを含む唯一のポストシーズン ゲームでもあります。 それよりもさらに注目に値するのは、おそらく、18回にクリス・バークの勝利のサヨナラ本塁打をキャッチしたファンが、8回にバークマンのグランドスラムをキャッチした同じファンであったという事実です。 ファンは後に両方のボールを野球殿堂に寄付しました。

  1. I still think it's crazy how Brian McCann was in this game. Bet he never imagined he'd win a World Series with the Astros twelve years after hitting that homer off of them.

  2. Little did we know Brian McCann would end up an Astro and win the WS with us…..the memories Go Astros also Beltran would come to his senses and return….😂man i love Baseball

  3. On this night…. I was 200 miles to the north west, in a small town called Burnet… I was in high school, so was she. The weather was cold but the fire was hot. The others had left, but the game was still on, so inside we went, to watch the 'stros win.
    A few lone stars later, and it was clear to see, that there would be two winners that night, the Astros and ME!

    (TRUE STORY. To bad i let her get away. Nobody said it would be easy.)

  4. I know they’re not scored that way because one was a tough play, you can’t assume a double play and one was a foul ball but essentially 3 errors by the braves in the 8th inning is just heartbreaking

  5. I will never forget this game. Happened on my 9th birthday and I watched the entire game. Such an emotional game! And on that same day the Cowboys actually beat the Eagles, so I was riding that high as well.

  6. The Braves surely could have picked someone better than Farnsworth to pitch in the high leverage situations, how he was not out of the game when Berkman came up in the 8th I do not understand

  7. If I was Cox in that 8th inning Smoltz would have pitched to Berkman, even if he was the scheduled starter for Game 5, but you need your best guy pitching in that spot

  8. That sign was so funny, but Beltran came back to Houston only to win his only WS title in his 20th and final season in the majors.

  9. Berkman, Ausmus, Clemens, and Burke were the heros of the game…well two games, 18 innings. Astros had awesome team chemistry in 2005 and get past the Red Birds in the NLCS to advance to their 1st World Series vs White Sox. To this day it's still hard to believe that they got swept by Chicago. All games were so close and very competitive but no cigar until 12 years later. Stros Fan 4Life

  10. Roger would have pitched as long as he needed to after coming into the game. He probably would have pitched with everything he had for 10 to 15 innings himself if he had to….

  11. Anyone else miss these unis of the astros as a kid they were my fav team growin up cause mainly of the brick red like unis personally these were my favorite missin them to play in the NL Central and wish maybe then they couldve evened out the conferences instead with like a vegas or montreal expansion team in the AL

  12. guys i have a question… I'm trying to find the name of a certain Astros pitcher that they used to bring in at the last inning or so, around 2003-2004…? they would play an intro theme when he'd come out that featured clips of him throwing fast balls with lightning coming out… and the crowd would go nuts. anyone know?

  13. This game proved to be the last a decade and a half of dominance for the Atlanta Braves from 1991-2005 in which they didn't make the MLB playoffs again till 2010 until Bobby Cox retired that year.

  14. I was at this game! I wanted to leave but glad my homegirl said no. It was so sweet to finally break the tomahawk curse. 😄 Now 16 years later, Astros vs. Braves World Series….

  15. Fun fact today is October 15 2022 the Astros are in 18 innings in Seattle and Jeremy Peña the rookie just hit a BOMB solo homer in to deep center field when I was watching Chris Burke hit a game winning walk home run just thought y’all should know that. Let’s go Astros

  16. I was at this game with my dad and little brother. I remember my brother and I wanting to leave in the 13th inning and my dad convinced us to stay, so glad we did LOL two for the price of one. What a great memory. My dad and I watched the Astros latest 18 inning win 17 years later tonight. Go stros!!

  17. I watched this entire game and I went to the fridge to get a drink and my dad starts yelling telling me get back, dude hit a homer. Just my luck.
