Chip Caray, Tony Gwynn and Bob Brenly were on the telecast for the deciding match between Cleveland and the New York Yankees, October 8, 2007. Grady Sizemore does a thing. Paul Byrd does his weird windup thing.
“40:56” first time ever Mike Mussina has ever come in to pitch in relief… He came in in the 4th inning of game 7 in the 2003 ALCS and pitched 3 scoreless innings.
Joe Borowski's biggest strength was the element of surprise: complete garbage stuff from the closer role. 45 saves with a 5.07 ERA in 2007. I loved that guy.
We all suspected at this time CC was going to be a Yankee by 2009. When he wouldn't agree to an extension in the off-season, we were sure of it. The Brewers rented him for the playoffs in a trade, and he was in the Yankees uniform. The good thing is the Indians won the first game at the new Yankee stadium.
