As it turns out, the play at the plate that almost ended the Los Angeles Dodgers’ second straight championship season wasn’t as close as we thought at the time.
As detailed by Ben Walker of the Associated Press, Major League Baseball released an analysis of Isiah Kiner-Falefa being thrown out at home in the bottom of the ninth inning of World Series Game 7.
The play, in which Miguel Rojas’ throw to catcher Will Smith beat IKF to the plate by apparent inches, was far more definitive, the MLB found, with the runner out by three feet.
