With him, he carried 30 years of frustration. He carried the hopes and dreams of an entire city. He proved out what can happen when the pressure is on and the game is on the line.

This time, Hosmer made a statement. No longer was Kansas City going to sit idly by and watch a championship be stolen out from under them. They got to this situation by applying pressure and Eric Hosmer helped drive the final nail in the coffin by maintaining the game plan.
