Sure, a home run to end a game is pretty awesome. There’s just nothing like watching a baseball sail out of the stadium with fans going crazy about what they had just witnessed.
But what about a walk-off bunt? You ever see one of those before? I don’t think I had until this morning when I saw what the Angels did Tuesday night against the Tigers and I have to say – this was an absolutely wild thing to see and just an absolutely beautiful way for a game to end.
Angels left fielder Magneuris Sierra pulled off the heroic play in the 10th inning with this perfect bunt down the first base line that scored the winning run. Check this out:

It's extremely cool when you can witness a perfectly executed suicide squeeze play.
You gotta love fundamental baseball when it's done RIGHT. https://t.co/9MSV5jjzuX

Walk off bunt in extra innings!
Almost as good as down by 3 with bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with two outs & a full count grand slam to win the World Series https://t.co/qVXNiHOVHb

Drives me insane that teams don’t do this more often in need-a-run situations. https://t.co/LkIveK7yYm
