Good article about “the Scioscia game” – if you are too young to remember it, you should read it. The dynasty died that day.
“What I remember most is how quiet it got at Shea. It was really eerie. It was the first time I could ever remember running around the bases and hearing my spikes crunching as they hit the ground. And I’m thinking, ‘this is pretty cool but it’s almost surreal.’ ”
To this day, I can show you the exact spot in my parents’ house in which I was standing when that home run was hit.
Horrible result, but that’s still probably the most fascinating baseball series I’ve seen since I started paying attention to MLB…so many twists and turns and subplots from inning to inning and game to game.
