Hope they think the play is worth the cut in the context of game highlights.

I'm sure it's happened plenty of times but I remember in 1979 or 1980 pete rose did this while with the Phillies, and at the time as a kid I never heard of such a feat. |

Doc Halliday handed it to 'em last night...and gave a little schoolin' to his old teammate AJ Burnett. He's kinda old school. Complete game five-hit (5-1 score) win in just two hours-twenty-two minutes. Nice! |

Now, if they were about thirty games behind with twenty-nine to go, and they were playing the Blue Jays, and we needed Toronto to lose so that Boston could make the playoffs, another exception would kick in at that moment.

Seriously, I don't root for the Yankees very often -- it has to be an extraordinary circumstance, like when they're not playing.

- although, I'd much prefer them to the Yankees because I don't have to hear from the Tampa Bay fans throughout the course of my day (and especially on Facebook).

Nettles, Rivers, Munson, Jackson . . . the current Yankees are relatively tolerable compared to that crew (and Jeter's a downright saint). |
