Kolten Wong's walk-off wins wild one
— -- ST. LOUIS -- Albert Pujols never hit a walk-off October home run for the St. Louis Cardinals. Mark McGwire? Nope. He never hit one, either. Stan Musial? Nah, not him, either.
But Kolten Wong, all 5-feet-9 of him? He'll be dancing around the bases for the rest of his life. Heart pounding. Arms waving. Helmet flying. Fireworks exploding. His feet almost forgetting to touch the bases, not to mention the earth itself.
This was Kolten Wong's freeze-frame October moment. At 10:50 p.m. Jubilation Daylight Time. On a Sunday night he'll never forget.
One minute, his team was trying to absorb the shock of losing Yadier Molina, then losing a hard-fought, one-run lead when a runner scored from second base, on a wild pitch, after a walk, with (gulp) two outs in the ninth. And if you can't imagine what that feels like, try simulating it on your Play Station some time.
