Re: 1990 World Series - I have questions...You have answers?

The best part of the series for me was game 2 in the tenth inning when the player any Reds fan would have voted least likely to get a hit against Dennis eckersley, Billy Bates, hit a ball that hit home plate and then rolled into the infield. All series the announcers kept talking about Bates' speed even though he was a utility IF because he had raced a cheetah earlier that year. Bates beat the throw to first, Sabo singled him to third and Oliver drove him in.

Without that infield hit by Bates v Eck I think we see a totally different series
