We're Talkin' Baseball

Robert Weintraub at ESPN.com has a great e-ticket article today about the 1993 NL West race, back when the wild card was nothing but an NFL invention. Catch an entire season's worth of drama and some great early 90's baseball pics in just fifteen minutes of reading. 1993, if you remember, was the year the Braves and Giants each won more than one hundred games but second place went home without another chance to play. It is kind of like politics. One team becomes President and the other travels to Europe and grows a beard for a couple months. Mmm...beards.
