Just like John Sterling once said, “I’ll tell ya, if you think you can predict baseball, you’re crazy. No one can.” (09/12/2013)

Should also be mentioned that that Mariners team is tied for the most regular season wins in MLB history. Much of their success stemmed from an absolutely dominant bullpen (their entire bullpen pitched in this game). An astounding Indians comeback on so many different levels. I will never forget this game.

Ha! My thoughts exactly. At first I thought he was ignorant. Then I realized he probably just wasn’t even alive when John Halama was pitching. 😣

I watched this game live on ESPN. An upstate NY kid whose hero was Jim Thome. It was a few weeks before I’d start middle school, 12 years old. Just a month before 9/11. It was a hot, humid night. I watched the whole game and jumped up and down with my sister screaming when they tied it and later won it. I would end up taking my first trip to the Hall of Fame a couple years or so later, and unexpectedly found Jolbert Cabrera’s broken bat barrel in one of the displays, signed in gold marker by Cabrera himself. It all sorta came full circle for me, and it’s engrained in my memory. Good shit! Great memories.

This is the reason that one of the main "Unwritten rules" in ⚾ about not piling on the score is bull💩...The team that's down doesn't want you to score any more but that doesn't prohibit them from doing all they can to get back in the game...Hypocrisy...If you don't want a team to score on you, pitch better...Seattle should've put another 10 on the board...

Baseball has a very high hand-eye coordination and mental acuity requirement, but it's not a tiring sport to play for anyone but the pitcher and catcher. The umpire gets more exercise than most of the position players. Outside of batting and fielding a VERY generous 10% of the game, everyone else either stands around for 45% of the game or literally sits down the other 45% of the game.

Win #117 for Seattle the record for wins in a season if they hold that lead.

We might be the only team possible of blowing this type of led

Russell Branyan had some real power. My family was at an Indianapolis Indians game about 25 years ago, sitting in the outfield lawn. My little brother and I were both under 10 years old so we got bored and started playing around under the scoreboard in right field (DEEP past the outfield wall). While we were messing around, Branyan launched a HR that seemed to come out of nowhere (since we weren’t really paying attention) and hit my brother right in the leg! 😂

I was there! I asked my dad in the 3rd inning if we should leave and he said, “you never leave a baseball game early.” When vizquel tied it with his triple, my dad and I are on the broadcast high fiving. What an awesome moment.

Vin Scully is gone, for sure.

This would be tied for the Largest Comeback as The Tigers trailed 13-1 in the First Game at Navin Field. They scored 13 runs in the Bottom of the Ninth to Win it.

I'll never forget that game. As an M's fan who was so excited about their run to becoming the winningest team in MLB history, I was listening to that game on the radio. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. That was truly a heartbreaking moment in Mariners history.

Imagine that thing today, where they put to pitch one of the outfielders and let everyone know that "they are not trying to win anymore, just trying to finish the game" and that the other team should do the same, no home runs, etc. Oh how times have changed!! How the turntables.... (the office)

They had them right where they wanted them. Both of those teams were pretty good

The ghost runner ruined the game

I was 9 years old and at this game with my brother, father, and grandfather. We left early because it seemed hopeless, and listened to Hamilton call it on the radio on the way home. When we tied it up, I couldn't believe it and remember being so mad that we left early. Looking back, it's cool to say I was at that game but I wish I could say I'd stayed to see the comeback.

I saw that game on tv. By the time Lofton got on first, there was an air of inevitability about the outcome, even with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth and a 3-run lead.

Once the Check Clears its time to win the game.

Tom Hamilton: "And the Indians dead and buried have completed the miracle." I remember that game. It happened Sunday, 8/5/2001. I was 12 years old. What a magical time that was.

Might actually be the greatest regular season game of all time

But make sure you stop trying when you have a big lead, right?

Greatest comeback of all time 04 Redsox down 0-3 to the NY Yankees. Now that’s a comeback.
