Baseball is a game like no other.
There’s no other sport in which a man the size of Alejandro Kirk could be the difference maker in a championship-deciding game. But this is baseball, and the Toronto Blue Jays’ catcher will be as important as anyone to deciding Game 7 of the World Series.
A baseball Game 7 is different. Pitchers parade out of the bullpen, one after another. It’s up to the catcher to keep things in order and put them all in the best position to succeed.
Kirk is one of the best defensive catchers in baseball. He’s a great hitter, too. And when those things combine, Kirk can put together the kind of night that can win a championship.
