Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
A group of fans in the right-field stands decided to take off their shirts and wave them around in the 9th inning, and it quickly snowballed into a full-blown section of shirtless fans.
The energy was palpable, and the Cardinals’ players seemed to feed off it.
When Yohel Pozo hit the walk-off line drive, the shirtless fans went wild.
The manager praised the energy, saying it created a tough environment for opposing teams and that he’d make sure to seat the fan who started the movement at every game.
Original observation: As soon as the game got tied in the 9th, the fans knew something was about to happen.
