I had forgotten how good Mariano Duncan was that year.
Sabo probably should have been Series MVP.
That team that year was the most fun team to witness ever for me. A different guy stepped up every day. It was incredible. They had to take out the Pirates just to get there and the Pirates were as good as the A's.
Tim McCarver was the Dan Fouts of baseball announcers, smart aleck know it all. McCarver and Buck both go nuts in game 2 when Baines hit that two run homer. You'd have thought they just won it all.
I love the last couple innings of game 4 you can tell they're both in total shock barely able to speak.
