    It doesn't look like he touched home plate, can't really tell for certain from that video.

    I haven't been able to tell from any angle, if he touched or not.  I know the catcher didn't have ball.

And What Becomes of Trevor Hoffman?
allonthefield.blogspot.com 10/2/2007 — Much will be made today of the epic one-game playoff last night: the poor performance by likely Cy Young winner Jake Peavy, the 10 pitchers used by Colorado, and the clutch hitting by the Rockies in the bottom of the 13th inning.
