And I remember much more vividly the 1988 WS game where Hershiser notched three hits, including two doubles, while holding the entire A's team to three hits. And all three hits were by Dave Parker!! This was a man who terrorized opposing pitchers and baserunners like no other, at least while in his prime.

It was in Seattle. The Cobra was my favorite player at the time. I was lucky enough to be sitting in the right field bleachers when he unleashed both of those incredible throws.
