It's hilarious on these Canseco homers in Boston-the cameraman just can't figure it out that it's GONE WAY OUT and just focuses on Greenwell in left field not moving. Love Joe Morgan the announcer 'well Canseco MADE it a bad pitch!"
Oakland was nasty back in the late 80s, early 90s huh... Great game tho. Seems like these Sox teams were a little light on offense....and it seems like they left Clemens in a bit too long. Heartbreaking loss for the Sox....Tony Phillips had an amazing at bat there.
Rice and Evans never really got going in the series. And they were expected to be the big bat's in the Sox lineup. There was alot of young talent on the '88 playoff Red Sox. I don't think they were ready for the big stage at that point.
MLB alternated home edge for many years.. all schedules were even so nobody every really complained. .. interleague play began in the late 90s which created unbalanced schedules and the start of home edge in the playoffs with best records.

@The Tom Wassell Show How Clemens didn't easily win the Cy Young in 1990 is baffling to me. An under 2 ERA and gave up 7 HRS in 228 IPs.

Notice nobody has worn #21 for the Red Sox since Clemens left in 1996
21 should be retired
The As were stacked
The A's wrecked Clemens so bad this series that he just plain gave up 2 years later by getting himself thrown out of the game.
Still don't think they should have ejected him in a playoff game.....was a little much.
How did boston have home field advantage?

Do you have/know where to find Game's 3 and 4?
