Howie Kendrick go-ahead HR in Game 7 of World Series
Howie Kendrick won the NLCS MVP and would have won the NLDS MVP if there is one, and he came back big yet again.
He hit a go-ahead home run down the right-field line that hit the foul pole, sending Minute Maid Park into shock, but the Nats dugout into a frenzy.
After the homer Kendrick sat down with Eaton and did their “Clutch” celebration, mimicking the revving of a motorcycle.
Kendrick just hit the biggest homer in Washington Nationals history, and it tops the list as the best moment of the 2019 Postseason for the Nationals.
