Santana is batting lower to take pressure off of him to produce offensively, and also to allow him to focus on actually being a catcher. Makes perfect sense.

“My personal favorite is near the beginning – the comeback game against the Mariners in 2001.”

My favorite thing about that game is that Tom Hamilton got so excited when the Indians tied it that he MADE A MISTAKE (a very rare thing for Tom). As the tying run crossed the plate he said “The Indians Win!” and then instantly corrected himself. A no, I don’t like seeing Tom make mistakes, but I love that his excitement got the better of him.

I have the DVD/CD box set the Indians made several years ago. The CD has highlights from their top 20 games, and that is one of them. But they deleted Tom’s mistake, which I was very disappointed by.

By the way, a couple of weeks after that game, I was watching ESPN Classics channel on TV and they showed the entire game – it was already a “classic”.

You couldn’t get WTAM in Maryland for the Impossible Game? We were up in Maine, coming home from LLBean in Freeport, and had been listening to the game. Stopped in a diner just south of Portland when the Tribe was down. When we came back out and turned the car on Hammy was saying how we had tied the game! What a fun ride it was back to south-central MA!! I had a video of a compilation of the plays and calls on my old laptop but the screen froze and all my data is locked up. From what I could find online now it looks like the MLB hammer came down and swept most of the non-MLB site evidence of baseball off the interwebs. Jerks.
