"1999 - Tom Glavine tossed seven scoreless innings to help the Braves to a 1-0 win over the New York Mets in Game 3 of the NLCS. Gerald Williams scored the only run of the game in the first inning on a throwing error. Atlanta leads the series 3-0, but will lose the next two games before closing it out in Game 6."
"1912 - The Giants defeat the Red Sox at Fenway Park 11-4 in Game 6 of the World Series. Boston outfielder Tris Speaker turns an unassisted double play in the eighth inning which is the only one by an outfielder in World Series history. 1923 - The Yankees score five times in the eighth inning to close out the World Series over the Giants in six games. Babe Ruth hit a first inning home run as the Yankees win 6-4."
"1986 - The Red Sox complete a comeback against the Angels winning 8-1 in Game 7 of the ALCS to advance to the World Series. Boston trailed 3-1 in the series and then won the next three games to advance. 1986 - The Mets outlast the Houston Astros 7-6 in 16 innings at the Astrodome to advance to the World Series. New York entered the ninth trailing 3-0, but will rally to send the game to extra innings."
Postseason highlights from 1912 through 2020 include pitching shutouts, long extra-inning epics, pinch-hit heroics, rare defensive feats, and multi-home run performances. Tom Glavine tossed seven scoreless innings in a 1999 NLCS Game 3 1-0 victory. Bryse Wilson allowed one run across six innings in a 2020 NLCS win in which Marcell Ozuna homered twice. Tris Speaker executed the only outfielder unassisted double play in World Series history in 1912. Babe Ruth homered in the Yankees’ 1923 World Series-clinching Game 6. Notable moments from Bob Gibson, Ron Swoboda, Kirk Gibson, and dramatic 1986 comebacks are included.
