Ichiro will get the ball in play and most likely everyone will advance one base safely, which is the point when the score's tied and you need only a single to win the game.

Doesn't Ichiro get a lot of infield singles due to his speed? If so, isn't there a chance that there will be a force play at the plate?

63 Infield Hits in 2001.

I should have stated it, but I meant right now, not in their peaks.


Francona? Really?

He makes so few questionable decisions in Boston it looks like he has a very solid crew behind him.

Are we talking peak or right now?

Right now:

Batter: Bonds
Pitcher: Santana
Manager: Francona
SB: Crawford

Peak:

Batter: Bonds
Pitcher: Pedro
Manager: Earl Weaver
SB: Henderson

At this very day and age, I can't go against Reyes for swiping bags. Francona is debatable, but I hardly know managers. As for the rest of your picks, they look pretty legit.

I could see Weaver as your choice for being extremely inspirational...but his offensive strategy was "sit back and wait for the 3 run homer." Would you want a guy like that managing your live or die game?

Personally I'd take Billy Martin. He's fiery and he's got balls of steel... and he's not afraid to MANUFACTURE runs.

I'd actually go with Paul Molitor in his prime for base stealing, guy was like 95 percent for three straight years.
