Andy Pages’ wild World Series Game 7 play gets NSFW quote from stunned Kiké Hernandez

Game 7 of the World Series nearly ended in heartbreak for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night. After Miguel Rojas tied the game in the top of the ninth inning with a solo home run, the Toronto Blue Jays were threatening to end the game in the bottom half.

Faced with the bases loaded and two outs, things weren't looking great for Los Angeles, and when Ernie Clement made contact with an off-speed pitch from Yoshinobu Yamamoto, it felt like the game was over.

Instead, the unlikeliest of heroes saved the Dodgers' World Series efforts. In the middle of a brutal offensive slump during the playoffs, Andy Pages was relegated to a bench role in the final games of the World Series, but entered Game 7 as a defensive replacement in center field.

It was Pages who turned that dreadful contact from Clement into one of the most memorable moments of the game for the Dodgers.

Kiké Hernandez couldn’t believe Andy Pages’ Game 7 heroics for Dodgers

When Pages and Kiké Hernandez were converging on the ball, even the most casual of Dodgers fans had seen that script before. After all, lack of effort in the outfield has been the one thing Dodgers fans have been pointing to as to why Pages needed to be taken out of the starting lineup. In the truest sense of irony that only baseball can provide, it was Pages' effort that set the stage for the Dodgers' victory in extra innings.

Hernandez was asked about that play after the game, and in true Kiké Hernandez fashion, he did not spare any details.

"I was going to pull a Willie Mays, and then he tackled me, and I felt like I got dunked on, and I thought we lost. I was just down because I thought we lost. And he came up to me and said, 'Are you OK?' 'F--- that, do you have the ball!' He's like, 'Yeah.' I'm like, 'Yeah, let's go!'"

Just imagine the deflating feeling that would have been had if Hernandez went for the Willie Mays' attempt and didn't make the play. It would have been a devastating end to the World Series for the Dodgers. Instead, Pages' play will be etched in baseball history. Unfortunately for Hernandez, it ended up with him getting leveled and sent to the turf at the warning track. He's had many October moments, though, so Pages stealing this one and taking him to the ground can't be that painful.
