I still get chills watching that home run. That crowd was so crazy, the cameras were shaking. It's truly hard to comprehend how crazy that inning was as it had literally everything:

Here is what that inning had:

Top of the inning:
Not just a lead change but a lead change on a crazy 1 in a million play
Umpire got the play wrong initially, reversed the call which is also pretty rare
Gibbons gets irate, doesn't get ejected (also rare)
Player on the bench (Saunders) gets ejected
Fans throw stuff on the field
Scenes of moms crying as they are clutching their newborns who are also crying
Gibbons issues a protest, also rare

Bottom of the inning:

3 consecutive errors to load the bases. (that throw by Moreland was so so bad).
Pompey interfering with the catcher with his sweeping slide.
Another Umpire Review on said slide
Hamels leaves the game with the bases loaded having given up precisely 0 hits.
Blooper by Donaldson just squeaking past Odors glove tie game.
Bautista 3 run home run with the greatest bat flip of all time.
Fans are still throwing things onto the field
EE at the plate trying to calm crowd down, Dyson says something, Benches clear
4 Toronto PD officers now on the field to remove a fan next to the Jays dugout.
Play literally stops and Rangers are sitting on the field stretching.
Tulo pops out with two on, third out inning over right? but its NOT OVER
Somehow during commercial break the benches clear again!

That was the craziest inning of baseball I have, and likely will ever witness.

EDIT: That was also Josh Hamiltons final game of baseball of his career.
