Lorenzo Cain’s legacy with the Kansas City Royals might best be remembered by the phrase “scored from first.”
His mad dash from first base to score the go-ahead run on Eric Hosmer’s single to right field in the eighth inning of Game 6 of the 2015 ALCS will remain etched in the memories of Kansas City sports fans. That run ultimately sent the Royals back to their second consecutive World Series.
It’s the perfect combination of a big moment — explosive speed and athleticism, daring, smarts and flair — to encapsulate one of the most crucial players to the club’s World Series runs in 2014 and 2015.
