George Brett looks so happy after the wild-card Royals win in 12 innings

By now you know: The Kansas City Royals beat the Oakland A’s on a 12th-inning walk-off hit by Salvador Perez. Final score:9-8. Even better, this woman is getting a puppy. We all deserve puppies after last night.

And here’s your game hero.

Why, yes, Perez is holding an engraved bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, which he gave to each of his teammates to celebrate breaking Kansas City’s 29-year playoff drought. (Thanks, Johnnie Walker PR person for the tip!) We could also use a drink to calm our nerves. 

Next up: on the road to face the Los Angeles Angels. Game time is 8:07 p.m. Thursday on TBS. So get ready for another late night.
