Oh, Yeah! It's mid-September and as we experience this great stretch run in both the American and National leagues, you can't help looking ahead a little to the playoffs and the Fall Classic...What's in store for us this year?
What better way to look ahead than to look back. Here are some famous finishes (in no apparent order) to wet your appetite...Enjoy!

2005 ALCS - Pierzynski advances on a "dropped" 3rd strike!
