The Ravens won in 00 and again in '12. It took the sting away from the Evans drop. The Os haven't won since '83. Haven't been to the WS since '83. Don't remember it. The '97 Grissom HR gets us closer to anything else the Os did in '12 or '14. That non HR wins us game 2.Gives us a 2-0 series lead. I think we coast from there. Even if everything had played out the same, we still would have had GM 7 at home.
That's a really good one to be honest..
That whole series was just plain wacky. The Mussina brilliance in game 3, followed by the "not foul tip" on the last play of the game....Game 4 where two runs scored on Arthur Rhodes wild pitch, only to lose that one late as well.
Game 6, a sequence no one EVER talks about.. Bottom of the first, Brady leads off with a walk...We decide to hit & run (which we never did) and Alomar hits a shot headed to CF, but Vizquel was headed to second to cover on the steal and he turns an easy unassisted Double play...Berroa ropes a double which might have been a 2 run double if not for the hit & run..., Baines then walks, Raffy K's to end the inning.
Should have, could have been a big inning. Of course, we literally never threaten again the entire game and lose 1-0 in extras. Lose the series 4-2.
Still haunts me.
Seriously.
