I was at that game!

Johnny Damon has done it too......and I was at that game too. Guess I gotta start going if we want more inside the parkers.

Teahen had a great sense of humor. That itphr was a little dunker down the line that skipped by the outfielder and rattled around in the corner. When he was interviewed about it, he was asked when he realized that he might be able to make it all the way. He responded with, "I knew it was gone as soon as I hit it".

I hate that ****ing shift

I could be wrong but I'm thinking Brett had one in '85 during a crucial series against the Angels,can anyone help confirm?

Yes...ran through a stop sign iirc.

Nice to see Mendoza offering up BP. JFC

Mendoza will be gone by the 4th or 5th if not sooner

They just aren't going after his dirtballs. Long night ahead.

Mendoza sucks shit stained taint.

The difference between last night and tonight is that the chances of Mendoza shutting them down is much less than the chance Shields would do it. We need to keep up offensively starting now.

It was in the next to the last series in '85 when KC hosted the Angels for four

After being swept at home in three games by the Twins and with only seven games remaining in the regular season, the Royals faced a four-game series at home versus the Angels. On September 30 the Royals won the first game 3–1 with Saberhagen pitching a complete game and giving up just one run on a home run by Doug DeCinces. Saberhagen collected ten strikeouts in the game and allowed only seven batters to reach first base. The Angels claimed the following game on October 1 by the score of 4–2 with Mike Witt pitching. The Royals won the third game on October 2 with Black pitching a complete game shut out and allowing only five batters to reach first base. Three of the four runs scored by the Royals came in the bottom of the first inning with no outs as George Brett hit an inside-the-park home run to center field with two runners on base. The final game of the series on October 3 was won 4–1 by the Royals with Quisenberry recording the final out of the game and his 36th save of the season. Starting pitcher Danny Jackson had given up just one run in 8⅔ innings despite allowing 11 hits. The Royals' runs came on three home runs by Frank White, Steve Balboni, and Brett. With the win, the Royals had a one game lead on the Angels.
