Longest Unbeaten Home Run Record

In Their Own Story

For the visiting forwards, the silence before the scrum felt louder than the crowd; they could feel the weight of fifty-two previous failures hanging over their shoulders. As the referee blew the whistle to restart play, the black jersey moved with a terrifying synchronicity, a machine honed by years of home perfection. The ball spun through the air, and for a fleeting second, history held its breath, waiting to see if the wall would finally crack.
