Default 25 years ago - 1992 MLB Playoffs

October 11, 1992

ALCS Game 4. Toronto vs Oakland. Jays up 2 games to 1

This was Toronto's 4th attempt at making the World Series after 3 previous failures in 85, 89 and 91



In the NLCS the Pirates won Game 5 to stave off elimination against the Braves. The same two teams met in 1991 with Atlanta winning in 7

Never ever forget it.

Those 2 years of playoff baseball were so much fun and those teams were SO good and so deep.

Great memories.

It's too bad Rickey came over and underwhelmed. I mean they still won the world series that year, but Rickey went from .327 / .469 / .553 with the A's to .215 / .356 / .319 with the Jays.

Add in Tony Fernandez (.306 / .361 / .442) as the #7 hitter and holy crap that batting line up was just ridiculous.

As for the OP, I will never forget that Alomar homer. So clutch against the best closer in the game at the time.

This game will forever be known as "the slide".

Sid Bream made this one game, maybe the most intense end to a LCS game as was ever played.

If anyone hasn't seen it, watch the bottom of the ninth. The word epic gets thrown around a a lot...this was an instance where it fits.

Now just imagine how lame that same play would be nowadays.

That clip would be 15 minutes longer to account for the excruciating replay that we'd be forced to see from 50 angles while the commentators suck the life out of the celebration as they break down the play from every conceivable possibility all the while playing devil's advocate and saying the call could go either way.

Game 2 was the flag incident. It was about as a big a deal as there was as far as everyone projecting outrage, as could be in the non-social media world back in the day.

Still remember being curled up tight on a chair sick to my stomach with stress watching game 6 with my dad as a kid, and feeling extra sick when that Braves speedball Otis Nixon tied it late in the WS-clinching game. And later on when that same Nixon was the batter who received the final out in the Jays first title. Sweet redemption!

I always remember when CBS wouldnt allow the Barenaked Ladies sing oh Canada in Toronto due to their band name being too offensive.

Guzman was one of my favorites -- had the jheri curl, the funky delivery, and the blazing fastball.

Thanks GS for bringing back all these good memories. Game 3 was epic with some great pitching, the White catch, 2 Jays HRs, and the incredibly tense bottom of the 9th with Maldonado coming through against the odds and Alomar doing the chop while scoring the winning rum.

Looking back, how incredible was the Jays pitching that season with Key as the 4th starter and Ward as the set up man? It has to be one of the best pitching staffs ever assembled.
