This homerun was so dramatic, how the crowd erupted after the laser, how the cameraman fell and the camera spinned around and the roar of the crowd. So epic

[stevemqn]

If anyone has ever wondered...It's like an earthquake, you can absolutely feel a Whole stadium physically shake from the roar of the crowd on play like this. It's Amazing....And your heart actually hits the floor, and you become severely nauseous, when your a fan of the opposing team. Game 7 was absolutely the Best and Worst experience of my life as Cub fan. I don't know if I could physically or emotionally handle it again. And God bless all the Cleveland fans, they are without a doubt Diehard. As a Cubs fan, I knew EXACTLY what they were going thru as I looked at their faces. I've experience it too many times before.

Although cubs won the series, that moment was one of the best world series moment.

[QUANTRELLBISHOP]

I said if we lose game 5 even tho we were up 3-1 we were done.and I was right

[Cheesesteak_]

This game 7 is when baseball peaked as a sport

[Paul]

If the Indians had gone on to win this game. This would be one of the most memorable HR in World Series history.

[droppinBOMBS]

One of the greatest WS games I’ve ever seen.

#DodgersFan :(

[JuanLopez-lhcm]

So one noticed the shine on the pitchers neck ? 😂

[ericspicer]

Being an Indians fan, this moment was one of the most exciting I've ever experienced. I was crushed that we lost but how can you not appreciate how amazing that game and that series was? That game 7 was absolutely epic. I believe the Tribe will get one soon.

Rajai Davis should never have to pay for a drink in Cleveland for the rest of his life.

[actioninmyphannypack]

If they won, Rajai Davis would have a statue in Cleveland. He went off in that game

[ktat]

The ball landed about 25 feet from me... and the stadium was literally shaking to a point I thought it was about to collapse! I’ve never experienced goosebumps like that before, and it’d take a helluva situation to beat that moment.

[LEETCH_]

From a Mets fan: The rain delay killed the Indians momentum. I believe the Tribe would have won had it not been for that. It allowed the Cubs to compose themselves, and the euphoria from the homerun was gone.

[maxfaust]

Who else is here because coronavirus has led them to rewatch old highlights

[Milordvega]

Imagine if the Cubs had been ahead 5-4 and not 6-4, and that this homer had won Cleveland the World Series instead of just tied the game. It would easily have been among the 2-3 greatest home runs of all time.

[finisherx]

Chapman's pitch velocity and Davis' result

1) 100 mph - ball
2) 99 mph - FOUL
3) 98 mph - FOUL
4) 101 mph - ball
5) 99 mph - FOUL
6) 101 mph - FOUL
7) 98 mph - HOME RUN

This is arguably one of the top 5 greatest at-bats in World Series history, when you consider the situation, the velocity of pitches he faced, and what was on the line. And Davis was only 3 - 20 in the Series before that at bat.

[danwagner]

I'm a Clevelander and a grown ass man, and this still gets me emotional watching it. Great series, hell of a Game 7, and we're still proud as hell of our guys. Go Tribe!

[brandynhenry]

This is probably the greatest game in mlb history considering both the game and situation surrounding it

[matts.]

Yankee fan here and I have to admit I come back to this video from time to time. One of my favorite home runs of all time. Too bad the Indians couldn’t finish it. And before I get the comments I’m not saying that to rub anything in. I was rooting for the Indians in this WS

[MrIAmTheWalrus]

I will never watch a better baseball game in my lifetime.
