With the A's and Brewers tied in the bottom of the 10th inning, Olson hit a moonshot solo home run on the first pitch he saw from Hader to send the Oakland Coliseum into a frenzy.
A's fans will get a chance to relive Olson's heroics from the 3-2 win Friday night as NBC Sports California re-airs the game at 8 p.m.
In a Twitter fan poll, Olson's walk-off beat out Marcus Semien's walk-off from March 29, 2018.
Left-handed hitters are hitting just .120 off Hader in 209 at-bats. He has allowed just 25 hits and six homers to lefties, so Olson beat the odds in order to send the A's home winners on that night.

Olson would finish the 2019 season with a career-high 36 homers, with 11 coming off left-handed pitchers.
He will have to wait an undetermined amount of time before he can hit his next walk-off as the MLB season has been delayed due to the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
