Because of the volley of comebacks and the high-leverage home runs, this game established itself as one of the most compelling in World Series history. By averaging the win probability added — basically, the degree to which each play contributes to a victory — across all the plays in a game, it’s possible to quantify how earth-shaking the average play was, and by extension how exciting each game is. And by that metric, last night’s game comes out as the second-most thrilling in World Series history.

It mostly depends on who you are a fan of. I rarely remember anything not involving the Cardinals.

Not for anyone north of the border. Joe Carter's homer is still revered to this day.
