Passion for the Pastime- The Wild, Wild Card

Welcome back to another episode of Passion for the Pastime! We had a great weekend of baseball and it only made the races for the Wild Card even harder. The Mets continued to roll against the Nats with a dramatic 9th innning comeback to start the weekend off with a bang. They took care of business. Giants answered the Liberty Bell as Philly and "The Silencer", Bryce Harper came into SF, but only walked away with 1 win as the Giants battle to stay alive by winning 3 out of 4. Yankees and Blue Jays squared off and the youth was on display with the young studs Vlad Jr and Bo Bichettes. But the youth movement didnt stop there this weekend, as Yordan Alvarez and Aristides Aquino, aka "The Punisher" hit 3 Hrs each in one day, leaving Aquinos total at 8 HR in 12 games. Not to mention Acuna has 8 HRs since August 1st. Finally, the Twins and Indians squared off for a battle of first place and this match up did not disappoint. Lets just say we are in store for a Wild final 49 days of the season.
