2) An earthquake.
Oh yeah. They won the WS. Different question. But those were the main HOFers involved.
Bob has just pointed out that the Giants--the losers in that earthquake-series, also used only their number 1 and number 2 pitchers. I hadn't realizaed that! That doesn't mean the As wouldn't have won with four--they had four SCHEDULED to start--but they only had to use Stewert and Welch, with all those days of rest, while the Bay Area recovered.
WE HAVE A FIGHT! I say, ALL four games were played at the Oakland Coluseum, because of the quake; Bob says that games 3 and 4 (after WS play resumed,) were played at Candlestick--I say the authorities weren't sure enough that it was sound, so the Giants had to play four away games. Anybody know?
