Did I wake you up?
At precisely 9:14 pm Pacific, I shattered the silence of a pitch-dark desert night with a cry of "Davis! Davis! Davis!" What prompted such an exclamation?
Tonight's contest involved the Haymakers hosting the Canaries in a game with major playoff implications. The Canaries were up 4-3 in the top of the sixth. With one out and nobody on, George Davis stepped to the plate. Facing the legendary Cy Young, Davis caught a fastball and pulled it deep to right. The Haymakers' Sam Thompson could only watch the ball -- and his own hopes for an MVP trophy -- disappear over the right-field fence.
Davis had just hit his fifth home run of the season, breaking the single-season record set by Mike "King" Kelly in Season 1. Davis's blast was also his team's eleventh home run of the season. That too set a record, surpassing the Blue Legs' total of ten homers from Season 2.
So who ended up winning the game? Frankly, I'm done. I need to put Strat-O-Matic aside and finish this game tomorrow!
