The Pirates had a 2 to 1 lead and were ready to celebrate when the game collapsed. What I remember as much as ultra slow Sid Bream chugging around the bases was the look on Jim Leyland’s face. The poor guy looked like his family had just died.
I was a huge Braves fan at the time but my heart went out to that guy.
Jim Leyland is pretty deadpan most of the time. Tigers just pulled off 3 of those come from behind in the 9th inning wins in Tampa.
In 06 he took the Tigers to the world series but I think the 12 day break before facing the Cardinals hurt them.
Oh, my. I remember that. I listened to that on the radio while driving. I was pulling for the Braves, but that was some drama....
