Warning: eleven months later, reliving that game will still stress you the hell out.
Fantastic read, though. Thanks for sharing.

I have to admit I read that article and there are times that I was smiling. But, yeah, the drama was there all over again.

No kidding.
Once this season started I avoided last year's highlights just so I could focus on and enjoy this year's team.
But that game was pandelirium defined.
Thanks for sharing.

That was a great read. How fun.

I rewatch it from time to time, and... yep.

That was a fantastic sports article. Why can’t the sports page be like that every day?
I’ve watched that game probably 20 times in the last year. It never gets old.

In spite of the fact it was written by LA writers, I thought it was very impartial, and presented a number of interesting aspects of the game. Very well done.

And I’m ok with an article written by a homer, as long as it’s good writing. It’s the latter that seems to have disappeared in the last decade. Nowadays, you click on an interesting headline only to get a 40-second video. Where’s the damn article? I guess I’m just an old man yelling at clouds now, but I wish the written word wasn’t disappearing from everyday life.

There don't seem to be a lot of Halberstams patrolling the papers anymore. That man's writing was mesmerizing.

I love the videos posing as articles. LOVE THEM.
Give me more, please. MORE.
No, really, I didn't mean to disable flash on my browser, it just sort of happened.

My favorites are the articles that quote some ignoramus's tweet, and then include an image of the tweet for good measure. That's some serious digging right there.

Big fan myself of the late/great Halberstam.

I liked it because it was from the LA perspective.

Maybe I had just forgotten it, but I didn't realize Hinch and Roberts were so tight.

Just ran across another good version: https://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2017/10/relentless_houston_astros_have.html (https://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2017/10/relentless_houston_astros_have.html)
....What's the fastest way to describe a game that lasted 5 hours and 17 minutes? How about this - the team without the bullpen beat the team with the bullpen. But it was not easy.
On Sunday afternoon, manager A.J. Hinch told Houston closer Ken Giles that the ninth inning no longer belonged to him. He didn't send him home, but he pretty much handcuffed him to the bullpen bench because he can't get anybody out.
When Game 5 ended with third baseman Alex Bregman scoring pinch-runner Derek Fisher from second base with the winning run on a two-out single off closer Kenley Jansen in the 10th, there were only two pitchers left in the Houston bullpen. . .and Giles was one of them.....
....The Astros and Dodgers have hit a record 22 homers in this World Series. The Astros top four hitters in the lineup - Springer, Bregman Altuve and Correa -- were a combined 8-for-9 with three homers, six RBI, 10 runs and three walks from the fourth inning through the seventh in Game 5.....
