Barger: 'I was being too aggressive' on game-ending double play

Blue Jays' Dramatic Loss in Game 6 of the World Series

The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 of the World Series in a dramatic fashion. Trailing 3-1 in the ninth inning, Addison Barger hit a double that got lodged between the outfield fence and the turf.

Barger and Myles Straw came around to score, but were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled a ground-rule double due to the ball being lodged in the fence.

"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"

Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho said. "That's probably the only spot where it could have possibly gotten stuck."

The Blue Jays challenged the play, but the call was upheld. According to the rules, if a fair ball gets lodged in the outfield wall padding, it is a ground-rule double.

Addison Barger noted:
