Re: ALDS: Red Sox vs. Angels
Haven't read the SOSH thread, but they must have mentioned Lonborg's CG 1-hitter in game 2 of the 1967 WS, right?
Beckett was fantastic, but the whole point of specifying postseason performance is that presumably the games are more important. And so if importance counts, he falls behind Lonborg, Pedro in the 99 clincher vs. CLE, Tiant's CG 1-hitter in the 75 WS opener, Schilling's bloody sock game...
Hurst had some great starts in '86 as well (not nearly as dominant as Becks, but just as savior-like).
