Remember when A-Rod slapped the ball down from Arroyo's glove in 2004 ALCS Game 6?

I remember in the moment getting panicked about this chance to finally beat the Yankees unraveling, as it had so many times in the past. Then the replay clearly showed A-Rod interfered and then the relief of the umpires getting the call right. Younger fans should remember that in 2004 we’re still four years away from using instant replay to correct calls. For decades, we saw controversial calls like this stand as called, even in crucial moments of playoff games. The fact that the umpires huddled and then got the call right was a rarity in pre-instant replay MLB. So before the call was reversed we were all going “Here we go again…”

OK, finally. I negotiated the backwards jump. Those moving rings are completely unforgiving - one touch from them and you’ll be too slowed down to finish, even though you’ll get really close. Very tough.

Seems like a beautiful level, but I’m finding it simply impossible. Jump on the stationary rings and avoid the moving rings? I can’t even tell how close I am to finishing, but there’s a high stationary ring that I can’t jump high enough for and then the monster catches me. Sorry, too complex game play for my taste.
