The Red Sox walked off of Fenway Park as ninth-inning winners on Tuesday night thanks to a wall-ball RBI single by Darnell McDonald that sent the team and its fans into a long-awaited celebration. But is a walk-off hit the most exciting play in sports?
As of 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday, we have a tie: 43 percent of fans who have responded say that a walk-off hit is the most exciting, while another 43 percent think there’s nothing better than an overtime goal on the ice. The remaining 14 percent of voters has opted for a buzzer beater in hoops.
