As for non-contenders, Pittsburgh and Colorado had a wild one. Pittsburgh had a 9-1 lead after the 1st inning. 16-10 going into the 8th inning. Colorado won 17-16!
11 innings normal baseball. 12th inning free runner. If still tied, decide a winner by holding a baseball trivia contest, 3 players per team 1 question each. That way MLB could defile its history and pay tribute to its history at the same time.
I remember that game too. And they both pitched great so before the next televised game WDIV prepared a montage set to the song "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better".
I look forward to the Friday night game when Casey and Finnegan dress up in City Connect uniforms to combine for 9 well-pitched innings.*
*I expect that only Canadians - or viewers of Windsor's Channel 9 in the '70s or '80s - will get that reference.
