That slide by Isaiah Kiner-Faleffa into home plate during Game 7 of the World Series

grab everyone's attention this off season.

Fans thought it was Razor Close for the Toronto Blue Jays to snag their first title since

1993 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

But Major League Baseball just cleared things up in a new statement.

MLB reviewed every angle and confirmed the Dodgers catcher Will Smith had his foot down

on the plate long before the ball touched his glove.

Turns out Kiner-Faleffa was out by several feet, not just inches like it looked at first

glance.

Blue Jays supporters have obsessed over that moment all winter, replaying it non-stop.

This news shifts the whole story and might hit fans differently now, especially with

how tight the game fell.

Kiner-Faleffa, an 8-year veteran now playing for the Boston Red Sox, owned up to it recently.

He said he did not expect it to be so close and admitted a bigger lead off, third base

could have made him safe.

Meanwhile, the Jays third base coach had marked a line in the dirt to guide his lead, but

even that fell short by a few feet according to reports.
