Texas Rangers slugger Corey Seager played hero in the ninth inning of Game 1, trying the World Series at five runs apiece when the team was down to their final few outs.

The FOX television call was as incredible as they get, with Joe Davis essentially calling the home run before it happened.

Corey Seager delivers in the biggest moment for Texas Rangers
Seager has been a force for the Rangers all season long. Paul Sewald hadn't given up a home run in over a month -- his last being to Cubs slugger Christopher Morel -- and Seager was able to turn on an upper-90's fastball like it was nothing.

The Rangers were left for dead to start this postseason, as they relinquished the AL West lead late in the season to the Houston Astros. Yet, the Rangers ran through the majority of their opponents in the playoffs, even beating Houston in seven games.
If anything, Seager proved what most baseball fans already know -- you can never really count out these Rangers. The Diamondbacks learned that the hard way.
