We are in the middle of a new feature for May that I’m calling the “12 Days of Mays-mas” because I won’t be around for this week, and I want to leave you guys with some fun things to watch while I’m gone. For the tenth day of Mays-mas, I thought we’d take another look at a game that deserves to be remembered, but didn’t exactly lead to further playoff success. And that would be the 2016 NL Wild Card Game! While the rest of the playoff adventure that year might be best forgotten, this game specifically deserves some love because it was yet another masterpiece of a complete game shutout from Madison Bumgarner, and gave us such popular memes as “Literally Conor Gillaspie!” So grab your coffee, call your mom if you haven’t yet, then settle in and enjoy!
