Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 3120057, member: 7882"] This was a compelling game to be sure. But it wouldn’t be fair to Moore or to history to blame the aftermath on the pitch to Henderson. The angels sent the game into extra-innings. And they [I]did[/I] have a 3-2 lead in the series, even with the loss. As for Moore, he was heading into an injury-plagued twilight of his career. Statistically, there is no reason to believe his effectiveness would’ve changed had he induced Ricky to pop out. An interesting footnote... I recall hearing at the time something like the following: that prior to 1986 no team down two or more runs in the 9th had ever come back to win a post-season game. It happened 3 times that year.
