Sure, there was Kirk Gibson and his awesome HR...but they also had Orel Hershiser for the rest of the series...both as a starter AND he even did a relief stint or two. He was INCREDIBLE that entire year...reg season AND post-season.

Is it just me or as he gets older, isn't Tony LaRussa starting to look more & more like Johnny Cash??
