There's a certain alchemy that comes with the simultaneous experience of being in middle school — the formative years of many people's sports fandom — and watching postseason baseball.

Why do New York elders revere the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers? Why do your Gen-Xers love the 1986 New York Mets? Why are the 2004 Boston Red Sox so popular with millennials in Massachusetts?

The answer can be found in this video that circulated on social media Thursday night after the Cleveland Guardians defeated the New York Yankees 7-5 in a fascinating Game 3 of the ALCS.

According to Tiffany Valentin, who tweeted the video, the middle school students from Amherst, Ohio – a small town about 30 miles west of Cleveland – are currently on a field trip to Washington, D.C. While at Dave and Buster's, the students watched, how they took their time -Hitter Jhonkensy Noel tied the game in the ninth inning with a huge two-run home run – and was completely beside himself.

Regardless of how the ALCS turns out for the Guardians — who still trail the series 2-1 after designated hitter David Fry's walk-off home run in the 10th inning — these students will have a memory that will last a lifetime lasts long. Size plus timing equals immortality.
