Another upset, and one that particularly surprised me, because before doing this journal, I did a test run and 2003 won it all.

Aaron Boone not making the '03 list just for the one homer... That is why they lost

That one homer was awesome, but wasn't he a backup most of the season? Or, like, a partial starter?

I'm pretty sure they lost the series in this tournament due to crappy pitching and fielding. In game 1, Mussina gave up 6 UNEARNED runs for frick's sake.

Ya he was a backup, pinch ran in the 9th inning of that game I think.
