20 years ago tonight. October 20, 2004. Four days of little or no sleep, pulverizing anxiety and consuming nothing but beer and Devil Dogs culminates in the greatest comeback in baseball history. That was a good time.
Happy Slapiversary! One of the weirdest moments of the 2004 ALCS came in Game 6 on October 19, when A-Rod knocked the ball out of Bronson Arroyo’s glove and tried to pull the ol’ “What? You can’t do that?” God love the umps… and those NY fans.
