Comcast showed a bit of a '91 game during the Rain Delay. Wearing NY Giants throwbacks. Pretty fun to watch them beat the Cubs at the Stick on suicide squeeze by Felder. We had no idea that the next LF after Felder was going to be Barry Bonds less than 2 years later...

Man, McGee could sure motor. Did you see him score from 1st on Clark's triple?

McGee could fly. What a player he was in his prime with the Cards.:eek:

Just looked back at Retrosheet for '92 Giants. Lf was a mess after Mitchell was traded at the end of '91 for Swift, Jackson, Burba:

Chris James played most games there w/ 60.
Bass 56
Felder 53
Mark Leonard 33

At the time the Mitchell trade was made I hated it. Now looking back at that trade it was the right move on the part of the Giants. Mitchell's career went down hill, and the Giants ended up with three very good pitchers.
