With two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Twins having just given up a two-run lead, fans at Target Field were getting ready to settle in for an extra inning (or a few). Then Joe Mauer did something he'd never done in his 14-year career.

Mauer hit a walk-off home run.

Here's the video. We recommend you watch the expressions on people's faces. Mauer's, Boston pitcher Matt Barnes' and a couple of others. We also recommend that you listen to the way Dick Bremer and Jack Morris handled the call in the TV booth. (If it was stunned near-silence, who can blame them?)

If you were among those who recited Jack Buck's words from his Kirk Gibson home run call in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series, you weren't the only one thinking, "I don't believe was I just saw."


Here's the game story from Phil Miller.
