Holland's Opus

Monday, October 24, 2011
The 2011 World Series is now a best-out-of-three affair. Allen Craig's pinch-heroics in Game 1, Kinsler's base stealing derring-do in the ninth inning of Game 2 and even the historic pyrotechnics of Albert Pujols in Game 3 have all been rendered meaningless -- or, at least, not decisive -- by a twenty-something left hander with a wispy mustache that evokes Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite far more than it does Pedro Martinez.

Well, actually, Martinez did rock a thin mustache during his salad days with the Dodgers... But before getting into the relative hirsuteness of October heroes, let's take a look back at the Rangers' Game 4 win over the Cardinals.

From Nolan Ryan being unable to reel in the ceremonial pitch of George W. Bush and the myriad impressions of Holland's mustache to the footage of the last out recorded by Neftali Feliz, here are the highlights, photographs and real-time Twitter reactions of fans and media members as the fourth game of the 2011 World Series was unfolding.
