Literally the moment you dream of as a kid bases loaded bottom of the 9th down three

[@jacksonklindtworth4738]

Lol when your playing outside w/ your dad and your like “bases loaded,down 3, World Series game 7, 2 outs,3 balls, 2 strikes”.

The best moment was game 163

[@staysimpletj9244]

The one night my household will never forget.....why? Mostly because I couldn’t stop screaming!!! Woke up the entire house. My fiancé, who had to work nights at the time, didn’t speak to me for two days. Was worth it....😂😂😂😂😂

[@peytonlane2295]

I think everyone still remembers where they were when this happened. I was up watching the game with my parents. My Dad decided to go to bed and just like that the minute he got in bed the inning unfolded into its magnificent glory. I sat there and prayed “Lord Jesus be with the Cubs in this moment” and just like that....error, hit by pitch, hit by pitch, now Bote’s up. I prayed a little harder. And in what felt like an eternity.....Santa Maria. Walk-Off Slam. My mom and I were jumping up and down screaming at the tv like they could hear us in Chicago. I honestly think it was God’s will for the Cubs to win that game. Whole heartedly I believe in that.

[@wunahahahah]

Well duh, everything is God's will. for you to suggest otherwise is blasphemy.

[@snorman1951]

It's obvious that the Cubs are God's team. Why else would he have tested us for 108 years? And we kept faith generation after generation.

[@noahslittlemind7683]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MarioPlayr]

Not only was this a walk-off slam, but this was also an ultimate one. 2 outs, 2 strikes, down by 3, bases loaded, bottom of the ninth.

[@Jimbo700]

As others have said, this was the best moment of 2018. It was Sunday, August 12, 2018. After listening to the ESPN announcers proclaim Max Scherzer as the second coming for 2 1/2 hours in a horribly boring Sunday Night game, with bases loaded in bottom of 9th and 2 outs, David Bote whacks one over the center field fence... walk off grand slam, Cubs Win 4-3!

[@gillrowley7264]

The best part about this at-bat was that it shut up A-Rod for a couple of minutes. Oh, and winning the game. That was great too. :-)

[@briandavis55]

As a fan of Baseball this is one of my favorite moments ever. Every kids dream realized by this man. We can all live through this. Thank you David.

[@PeterTea]

Probably the most exciting walk off I’ve seen. Sometimes the stars just perfectly align.

[@dylanward9276]

I’m as big a Cubs fan as any, and I was bowling with my girlfriend at the time. I got a notification from my phone that the Cubs had the bases-loaded, and I had been following the game so I knew what the deal was. I excused myself and walked over to the bar where they were playing the game on TV and watched the entire at bat. Wow. This was such an awesome moment.

To think this overshadowed the epic comeback of his (Bote's) two run shot with two outs against the D Backs on July 25th, followed by the walk off by 'Rizz'...So many amazing comebacks in a season that ended in heartbreak. They were just burnt out from coming back in so many games in '18

Wilson Contreras can actually run pretty well especially for a catcher

[@daxvolfan]

This was on my birthday. Had a great weekend, and wanted to end it up watching the Cubs win a game on Sunday Night Baseball. Wasn't looking too good until that moment. Made a great weekend even better.

[@MarkRosa]

Does anyone remember the game in the 1990s that was almost exactly like this one except it ended on a three-run homer? Cubs had surrendered three runs to the Phillies in the top of the ninth, and in the bottom half, down to their last out, Scott Bullett reaches on an error, and Brian McRae gets hit with a pitch. Shawon Dunston comes up and hits a three-run walkoff homer. July 29, 1995: one of the most entertaining Cubs games I've ever seen (in an ordinary season that was somehow full of them). And now David Bote has one-upped it.

[@riftzyt6004]

I love this video I’ve watched it so many times

[@tguy0720]

David Bote smashes his way into the Cubs pantheon. For a team with so much history and talent and a unique love for the quietly good player, Bote really shines. Glad there is so much video evidence because you have to see it to believe it. So jealous of my friends who were front row by the away on-deck-circle.

5:33 as a catcher, my legs were always sore, so it felt great to get a pinch runner for me. why does it feel better to pinch run for someone instead tho?

[@danielseguin5099]

I'm a catcher as well, but with a different perspective. It's no doubt an ego thing. More often than not as a ballplayer I was the one doing the pinch running, but I remember how deflating it felt the first time I was lifted for a pinch runner. It almost feels like the coach doesn't trust you enough to score that run.

[@willybro.]

thank you for your perspective
