KC Royals: Alex Gordon Five Biggest Moments
By Scott Dillon
First: 2015 World Series Game One – The Shot
“Bottom-half of the ninth. Down one run in the World Series and Alex Gordon steps to the plate. Here’s the pitch. Gordon put’s a good swing on it! It could go, it might go, it’s outta here!”
Substitute Alex Gordon with almost every child who’s ever picked up a bat and ball, and you can almost guarantee this kind of dialogue has run through their head. The difference is that for Alex Gordon, it came true.
The play pretty much speaks for itself and there can be no denying this play as Gordon’s single biggest moment.
He had come ninety feet away from tying a World Series game only a season before, this time he decided to put the ball over the fence where no amount of bobbling would matter.
The roar of the crowd for this home run is a little louder than the roar for his game winner against the Twins and why shouldn’t it be? Alex Gordon destroyed this baseball and the Mets’ hopes of winning this game.
