Jesse Winker’s walk-off homer punctuates Mets massive win over Orioles
NY Post
Even if he doesn’t quite remember the moment, Jesse Winker might remember the emotion — the electric currents running through his body as he declined, for several seconds, to round the bases.
He watched the ball sail over the center-field wall, halted and stared into a home dugout that had collectively leapt.
He unleashed a fist pump that more resembled a left hook. He ripped off his helmet and spiked it.
Finally, he began jogging around the bases until a welcome line greeted him around home plate. His high five with Francisco Lindor was almost violent.
Next came Jose Iglesias, whose right hand might still be ringing. After a few more slapped hands, he leapt and landed on the plate in a moment that — if this season goes anywhere — could live for a long time in Mets memory, even if it is gone from Winker’s.
“I saw it go over the fence,” Winker said later, “and I blacked out.”
