According to Elias, it was the first time in franchise history (since 1876!) that the Braves had won a game in which they trailed by four or more runs during extra innings. Since 1981, there have been only two other games in which the winning team rebounded from a deficit of at least four runs in the 10th inning or later.Marlins - 001 000 020 4 - 7 9 3

And how 'bout that Dodgers comeback last night. 4 home runs in a row! And then Nomah...wow. Highlights are on their website. GO PAPI. 50.....
Going into that April series, the Cubs were ahead of the Bucs. That incredible comeback (Heathcliff Slocumb, whose real name is just Heath, I just found out, started the bottom of the eleventh for the Cubs) to cap off a 3-out-of-4 series win put Pittsburgh atop the NL East. They'd go on to win 11 of their next 15 and win the NL East going away.
The Cubs would lose 5 of their next 7, and never recover, finishing 20 games behind the Pirates that year.
This is all from memory... I swear.
whose real name is just Heath
Serious? He calls himself Heathcliff because his grandmother was a big fan of Wuthering Heights?
Don't tell me his father's name was Ffilchtaeh?
Or Heathcliff Huxtable.
From baseball-almanac.com:
Birth Name: Heath Slocumb
Nickname: Heathcliff
That really is weird. To have it backwards like that.

And who did Nomar hit his HR off of?
Ruuuuudy Saenez!
