  2. That last series of the season against the Red Sox was a very exciting, though now basically forgotten, battle between the two teams. Yankees came back from 4-0 down the day before, then almost blew a 5-0 lead in the last game (which Coleman had a big hit in).

  3. Very cool. I grew up listening to Jerry Coleman call Padres broadcasts.

  4. These posts are always good, but I like them even more when I was already familiar with the player.
