Lot of action in the game
Controversy in the very 1st inning
Run scored in each of the first 8 innings (for only the 2nd time in MLB playoff history)
The game-ending catch: it would had ended the game either way - either the catch is made and the Red Sox win, or no catch and the ball goes all the way to the wall, clearing the bases for an Astros walk-off (if the Astros had scored, that would had been the first time in MLB playoff history that run scored in each of all 9 innings)
Lizz
That call....just Completely ridiculous. Mookie was closing his glove and the fans weren't reaching over the fence. Does the MLB care ? They actively encouraged it as late as the low fences of the ‘70s when this play happened several times a year. Now take out a row of seats near outfield fences where fans can reach into play. It isn't like stadiums are so close to capacity that they would miss anything.
