The Hunt for October

The entire season comes down to the final games. And the result: the most amazing night of baseball in recent history. 2 historic collapses. A new "Shot Heard 'Round the World" by Evan Longoria. 3 games going crazy at the same time.

And I had gone to bed at 10:30pm and missed it all.

The rain delay was on for the Red Sox, the Braves were going to extra innings, and the Yankees were up by 7 runs, so I wasn't worried about missing anything. The next morning I turned on SportsCenter and kept yelling "NO WAY" at the television. Nights like are baseball legends and people will talk about for years. Even non-baseball people know what happened. The Rays come back, the Braves super awesome rookie closer loses it, and the Red Sox are down to the final strike and can't close the deal.

Now my favorite teams are eliminated from the playoffs, but they kind of deserved that. I'll still watch, though. Hopefully there will be more crazy games.

We always have CNBC playing at the Bank (very exciting, let me tell you). This is how you know it was a big deal: CNBC actually ran a story on the night of baseball.
