Dodgers' Kiké Hernández was nearly on the wrong side of history during Game 7's win over the Blue Jays in the World Series on Saturday night. Thanks to his teammate's clutch game-saving play in the ninth inning, he and the Dodgers escaped what might have been a full-blown catastrophe.
At the bottom of the ninth, with the bases loaded and two outs for Toronto, Blue Jays' Ernie Clement hit a drive to left-center field that sailed high and was frantically pursued by two Dodgers outfielders: Kiké Hernández and Andy Pages. Hernández was sprinting backwards and seemed to be gearing up to make a Willie Mays-style over the shoulder catch, but he got there a tad too late. Instead, Pages, who had just subbed in for defense, leapt and came down with the catch but collided with Hernández in the process, sending Hernández sprawling onto the ground.
