On the idea that Cruz could keep it going 1 to 4 more years. Makes the depth at 1b/DH more confusing if that's plan A though.
Seems as good a place as any to delve beyond "the double". It's been bugging me that he hit 2 that day but only 1 seems to count. Occasionally there's a mention of his 7 RBI day (tied for postseason record) just previous. But he started out that series with an OPS of 1.367 as his team lost the first 2 games in NY. Facing elimination, through the next 3 games he hit .545/.667/.1.273 1.939 OPS through the 15 PA that culminated with the double. Griffey mashed NY as well. Well, not as well unless you're only counting HR. Edgar had a rare postseason series for a hitter, going 5 games with the team on his back against the Yankees and all most people credit him for is one hit.

That was the series for Edgar. Just 18 times on base in 27 PA. But the East Coast never noticed him?
