Most underrated pitcher of the 80s? I’ll ride with Dave Stieb. This glorious son of a bitch was taking no-hitters into the 9th inning all the fucking time back in my day.
Today in 1987, with the Pistons up 107-106 and in possession of the ball in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Larry Bird steals the inbounds pass and hits Dennis Johnson for the game-winner. It remains a thing of absolute beauty.
