In wake of the ALCS, please check out my interview with the former Yankee and Angel, the truly inspirational, Jim Abbott!

Brad Lidge, Brian Fuentes, Jonathan Broxton, and Mariano Rivera got it done.

Huston Street, Jonathan Papelbon, Ryan Franklin, and Joe Nathan did not.

The first four will be playing in the next round. The last four will not.

I think that's proof just how important closers are to their respective teams in the playoffs...

Michael here.

Hey, I commented back on that Smoky Joe/Walter Johnson dual. Left a Quote about that famous day from Smoky Joe and also one from HOFer Harry Hooper about that day.

It's a 2 or 3 down from your original comment. I had a great time digging it up, it's one of the most famous non World Series games in history. Had a great time. Good hearing from you again, too. Let me know what you think after you read it. Talk to you later.
