CLE vs MIL because the Rays don't deserve a new stadium.

I started out watching Sandy, and Gibby, and those two were hard to beat.Sandy only ended up 4-3, but his ERA was 0.95 in 7 starts.

Yes, Koufax would be right up there.

When I started out is was rooting for whoever went against the Yankees in the WS, so it was Sandy in 1963, and Gibby in 1964. Wasn’t rooting for Gibby though in 67.

Jake Bauers struck out 13 times in 26 at bats in the NLCS. But he was the MVP for two at bats: the 12-pitch walk that wore out Yamamoto, and the 11-pitch HR that beat LA.

Is he suddenly better right now than ever before? Can anyone really call an entire season when Bauers had the most home runs for the best team in baseball a small sample size?

Can anyone in their wildest dreams imagine Duran, Story, Anthony, Rafaela, Abreu and Contreras fouling off two dozens pitches total between them...

I'm not saying Breslow should overpay for him this winter, but is it possible Bauers finally figured things out at 30 (did Mickey?)? Maybe he just ate a lot of carrots this week.
