The World Series of 2023 is finally here. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers played Game 1 of the Fall Classic, Friday night at Globe Life Field. In the Championship Series, the Rangers defeated the in-state rival and reigning former World Series champion Houston Astros in the American League. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Phillies, the reigning National League Champions, were surpassed by the D-backs. Amid the WS rush hour, there is one player who has outshone the rest with his Fall Classic familiarity. 

Rangers’ shortstop Corey Seager is shining in Game 1 with his score-tying hit! In a display of spectacular performance, he made a 113 mph blast into the second deck off D-Backs’ pitcher Paul Sewald. This launch brought the team to a tie in the ninth inning. A few hours before he pulled off this amazing stunt, he shared some words with @Ken_Rosenthal about his winner mentality. Corey’s emotions were, “Hard to Explain..It’s Really Special“. 

Corey Seager’s Game Tying Hit Is A Manifestation of His Words and Winner Mentality

@MLBONFOX tweeted a video clip of his talk where particular words of his stood out. As someone who is making his third run in pursuit of the Commissioner’s trophy, he revealed his thoughts on how he wishes to finish in October 2023. The 29-year-old’s words were, “It’s always what you talk about growing up, playing in the World Series. In the moment, it almost gets past you, so I’ll enjoy this one a little more”. With Seager’s attitude coupled with his amazing performance in Game 1, the Texas Rangers might have just upped their chances of winning.

Right after the game, Corey spoke with Tom Verducci, emoting about Game 1, his 9th inning homer and Adolis Garcia. He said, “Yeah, it was exciting, that was a fun game right there you know. This is what baseball is all about. Keep grinding it you know, it’s not over till you get all the outs and we showed that tonight“. Beyond that, he went on to talk at length about his teammate, Garcia.
