In the 1987 NLCS, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the San Francisco Giants in seven games. However, San Francisco’s Jeffrey Leonard was named the MVP! As a matter of fact, he attended Overbrook High School, like Wilt Chamberlain. So, my thirtieth video features a poem about Jeffrey Leonard.
29. J.T. Snow
In the 2002 World Series, the Anaheim Angels defeated the San Francisco Giants in seven games. The Giants’ manager was Dusty Baker, and his son, Darren, was a bat boy. In the seventh inning of Game Five, J.T. Snow prevented a collision at home plate by picking up Darren. Therefore, my twenty-ninth video features J.T. Snow. He was a fantastic first baseman! Thanks to Mark Kelley for filming the poem.
