The Phillies come back from a 5-run shutout to take Game 1 of the World Series on Catcher J.T. Realmuto homer in the 10th...
...he was over 39 years of age.
Seeking his first World Series win, we witnessed 97, 98, even 99mph heat on the radar gun.
Never before been seen in the postseason, Verlander's velocity, at his age, is unprecedented for a starting pitcher in the pitch-tracking era -- especially in the playoffs, let alone for a pitcher in his first season back from surgery.
The shoe is on the other foot for the Houston Astros.
it's the Phillies who are the underdogs.
Games 1 & 2 in Houston.
Games 3, 4 and, if necessary, 5 at Philadelphia.
Games 6 and 7, if necessary, in Houston.
With the help of a three-run homer by ALCS MVP(!) & rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña, the Astros completed a sweep of the Yankees Sunday night to reach their 4th World Series since 2017.
