World Series Final Play

by EbeSPN - 68 cards (Last updated on Oct 3, 2018)

Cards the year after of the player who ended up making the final play of the World Series. I listed catchers if it was a strikeout for example. As a bonus where available I included a link to the Youtube video of the final out or hit.

Sweet work. I did a little research a while back, if you did pitchers who threw the final pitch of a World Series as well, you'd see a lot of Mariano Rivera cards! He holds the record with 5!

Nice! But you shouldn't just list the people with putouts. If it's a strikeout, list the pitcher, but if it's a groudout, then list the fielder with the assist. For example in 2016 you'd have a Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo card and in 2008, the best year, you'd have Brad Lidge and Carlos Ruiz.
