The Cubs entered Game 7 of the World Series in Cleveland set to do the unthinkable and come back from a 3-1 series deficit to win their first championship since 1908. Tensions were high on that brisk, November night as Corey Kluber took the mound for the Indians, aiming to shut down the Chicago bats in front of a packed Progressive Field crowd.

Fowler strolled up to the plate in his usual leadoff spot and on the third pitch of the game, he took Kluber deep to center for the first leadoff home run in World Series history. Many still get chills from that moment and it set the stage for one of the best Game 7's of all-time. His exhuberant trip around the bases won't soon be forgotten - and that's saying a lot when you think back at the drama of that gamge.
