In honor of Steve "Shag" Crawford...

... the man who won the Dave Henderson game in 1986

... the man who won the Clemens/Gooden match up in the 1986 World Series

... the man who said when he got out of that potential pennant losing jam in 1986 said "If there was a toilet on the mound, I would have used it!"

THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 28

In honor of Keith Foulke...

... whose 5 combined shut out innings in game 4, 5 and 6 of the ALCS were the most underrated heroics of the 2004 playoffs... who was kind enough to blow a series clinching save AGAINST the Red Sox when he was with the A's in 2003... who basically ended his career with his heroics in 2004... and gave us the highlight we waited our whole lives for, a World Series victory...

THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 29!
