Tale of the Tape, Walk Off Home Run Category: Yordan 2022 vs. Altuve 2019 - seanpendergast compares and contrasts two of the greatest home runs in Astros history.
There is no more exciting ending to a professional sporting event than the walk off home run, particularly in the postseason. Sure, NBA buzzer beaters are cool, as are game winning field goals or touchdowns at the gun in an NFL game. However, in a timed sport, you can see those coming, you can anticipate them.
In a baseball game, with no clock and a myriad of outcomes that can end a game, a walk off home run is a jolt to the system. It's the best, and we are so lucky in Houston to have experienced a TON of these moments over the last six seasons, thanks to the Houston Astros and the clutch gene that the core group all seems to have.
The latest one, of course, was Yordan Alvarez capping off an historic comeback on Tuesday afternoon against the Seattle Mariners: Prior to this, the most famous walk off home run in Astros history was Jose Altuve's walk off to send the Astros to the 2019 World Series: With all due respect to Jeff Kent, Chris Burke, and Carlos Correa , these two set the"Astro playoff walkout home run" gold standard. However, if we were to crown one of them champion, whose would it be? I realize this is like comparing two of your kids, and deciding which one you love more, but sometimes, you do what you gotta do!Yordan's home run rescued the Astros from a catastrophic Game 1 loss in the ALDS versus a young, plucky Mariners squad.
