I remember watching this live in the Kansas state university rec center. Very busy gym, to hundreds of people gathered around a TV. one moment I’ll remember vividly for the rest of my life, and perhaps one of the greatest baseball games to ever take place.

[@FatboyFadeawaySports]

glad someone enjoyed it. Sincerely a Bitter A's fan😂

[@zachk2216]

Kauffman stadium turned into an absolute nightmare for opposing teams until the end of 2016. The arrowhead crowd immediately came over while the Royals were contenders.

Royals (17-11.) Currently the 4th Best Record in MLB. Kansas City Rivals currently OWN, THE BEST Record at Home. (4•29•24.)

Greatest game ever played

[@unboxingbros8041]

At 3:45:46, heartbreaking shot of Adam Dunn in the dugout watching the Royals celebrate. In a 14-year career, this was his first (and only) postseason game, and he didn't even get an AB. He retired afterward...

[@fallen4life080]

Yup, as a White Sox fan I ended up bonding with him after his disatrous 2011 season. He won fans over by doign what he did best, slug when we needed him too despite consistently hitting .240. I remember him saying he was retiring then got a second wind when he was traded to Oakland and then felt REALLY bad when they failed.

[@tvpmark]

Admittedly, I'm watching this game as the world is in "lockdown" mode in light of the COVID-19 situation. Still, I'd rather be watching historic baseball games-- especially postseason games-- than what's currently on the major networks.

I consider this revenge for Charles Finley screwing over Kansas City and moving the A’s to Oakland in 1968.

[@frankfurlacker5219]

Before Finley moved them to Oakland he was considering Atlanta and he wanted Lamar Hunt to come with him. So not only did he screw KC out of their baseball team he tried to take the chiefs as well.

Coco Crisp. Milton Bradley. Some parents just give up immediately.

[@phile5437]

Coco's real name is Covelli, but I think your point is still valid.

[@SamuelJ888]

This is prob the most painful loss in A's history. The game was just a microcosm of the entire season. Started off red hot, best record in the league. Make the Cespedes trade and barely can win 1 outta 3 games in a series. Somehow snuck into 2nd wild card seed, take lead after leaf in WC game and ultimately gut punched in the end.

9 years later not a single player is still active except Gore and Dyson because of the new Designated Runner rule... Several played last year but were clearly on the way out. Maybe Moustakis gets a platoon/depth role for a non factor again? Donaldson's probably done, Hosmer's definitely cooked. oh well, it was a fun ride while it lasted and they got paid 9 figures to play a game no one watches anymore.
