The Falcons OVERCOMING a huge deficit to WIN? Hey now, ASB is THAT-a-way.
October 4, 1992: With the Cubs and Braves locked into the NLCS and the AL East going to the Blue Jays, the AL West goes into the last day. The Twins lead the division by one game with the Mariners, Angels and A’s a game back - the Rangers ended up fading, and the Royals and Zephyrs collapsed. The Twins need a win over the Brewers to clinch the division, the A’s and Angels play each other, and the Mariners finish out against the Red Sox.
The Twins, expecting an easy win, fall on their faces early against the Brewers, trailing 5-0 after two. They rally but fall short, losing 6-4 and ensuring that the AL West will end in a playoff.
The Angels fight the tough Athletics to the end, upsetting Oakland in the 10th.
The Mariners crush the Red Sox 10-2.
After a random draw, the first game is Seattle @ Minnesota; the winner will host the Angels, and the winner of that will play Game 1 of the ALCS in Toronto.
