I've been to a bunch of playoff games but this was the most exciting game full of big plays that I've ever seen - most of them by Bo Jackson and Rickey Henderson. With Steinbach on 3rd, Bo threw him out at the plate ON A SINGLE to left in the 7th - a liner that Bo charged and Steinbach had to wait to see if it was caught - still I think the best baseball play I've ever seen. Then Bo came up in the 8th and took Eck out VERY deep to left - caroming off the Budweiser sign hanging from the 2nd deck, which I'd never seen anyone hit before. Surrounding the Bo highlight reel were a number of big hits by Rickey and Willie Randolph who had 4 hits and scored the winner in the 9th. This was an untelevised afternoon game, otherwise those Bo highlights would have been added to all the others we've all seen and loved.
