I finally read through this thread after being there for Game 1 and 3. Game 3 was just such a swing of emotions so quickly that's what makes it such a kick in the balls.
Game 6 2011 you knew it was over right away, Game 7 2018 there really wasn't much to cheer about after the Yeli homer, and getting excited when that guy made that amazing catch and robbed us.
This was legit pure joy, it felt like it was "meant to be" that we would win after Game 2 and then the back to back homers from two of the younger/new guys. My buddy and me were hugging random guys in our section, we all had our rally caps on and the guy behind us called the Bauers HR a second before he hit it saying "Watch Bauers is gonna get into one" and it happened! It was pure magic! Then Sal with only 2 HRs all year was the icing on the cake. The crowd was insane.
I was in the left field upper level. After the top of the 9th ended I saw a random ball get throw up about halfway up the terrace level. Turn around and realized it was Chourio chucking the ball up that entire way in anger after that inning ended. Pretty insane toss. It's too bad he couldn't get to the plate in the bottom of the 9th.
