Was that the worst way to have your season end?

At this point, you probably know what “that” refers to. If not, you will figure it out soon. Or maybe I’ll give you a video.

Let’s see, we’ve got: a physical mistake, then a mental mistake, then another physical mistake. Oh, and you were pitching in walkoff territory in a game where your team was facing elimination, and given that there were two outs, not making any of those mistakes probably means your team survives to fight at least another inning. Oh, and the other team ended up not scoring any runs via base hit in the game, and neither team hit a homer.

If you can think of something worse, I’m all ears, but that’s as grisly as I’ve seen a season come to an abrupt end. Long, slow collapses are more painful in their own way, but this was something else, as the MLB ad campaign says.
