A left-handed hitting third baseman hits a clutch home run for the Kansas City Royals. The Baltimore Orioles win a postseason game with pitching and home runs. Somewhere upstairs, George Brett and Earl Weaver were smiling (though in Brett’s case “upstairs” just means his box at the game, with Weaver’s reference being eternity-based). Baltimore started the Division Series round by beating Detroit 12-3, and then Kansas City won the nightcap at the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 in 11 innings.
