September Sacrifice

One of the great things about The Hardball Times is that they serve up articles on unexpected subjects to its readers on a consistent basis. They reach back, grab a pennant race from forty years ago and write about a pitcher who carried his team to the brink of the World Series only to fall just short. Other sites would serve up the Yastrzemski September of '67 softball but the Times kicks it with Jim Kaat and his 1.51 September of '67 ERA for the Twins. Its baseball candy for those yearning to learn new things about the game every day of their life.
