Highlights and lowlights from the ASG

By

#1 highlight: Josh Groban’s singing of GBA.

#1 lowlight: Edinson Volquez’ hat.

It was interesting that with almost everyone wanting the game to end (I assume), the home plate umpire, Cousins, calls the winning run out when he was clearly (at least if you watched the replay) safe by a mile even though the throw beat him. I guess Cousins was positive that he was out, even though he was wrong.
