Some games are not like other games. Last night, the baseball world witnessed a game in which
the following things happened

In the top of the first a player struck out the side
In the bottom of the first a player hit a lead off home run
In the bottom of the fourth a player hit a ball four hundred and sixty six feet that cleared the Dodger RF pavilion
In the top of the 7th a player completed six innings of shutout ball against the team with the best record in baseball in a game four must win, striking out ten in the process
In the bottom of the seventh a player hit a home run

The fact that it was the same player for each of these events is why it might be considered not only the greatest individual feat in postseason history but simply the greatest individual feat in the history of baseball.
