Yes, it's certainly open to debate. However, in that first game we were up and had rallied again. If Porter even makes an attempt to score, we are back in the game. Instead he stops dead 10 feet from the plate let's himself get tagged out. Killed the rally, killed the game.
And I agree our inability to hold leads was atrocious. To this day, I'm stunned that Leo gave up that HR Bake McBride.
Nor will I ever forget the towering HR Mike Schmidt hit in game 5 off Larry Gura. It went straight up. And up. And up. I thought it was just a long out. Watching AO just drift, and drift waiting for it to come down. And AO drifted and drifted some more. Pretty soon, he standing at the 410 sign (old CF) and it landed high on the embankment just right of the scoreboard. A tremendous shot.
