and read this page for a little more on his astounding 1957 World Series MVP performance: he threw 3 complete games, 2 of them shutouts, with very little rest, and dominated those bitch ass yankees. god bless lew burdette!

I'm here. I'm gonna test this one out. Now, instead of guessing players, you have to guess framous moments: Mookie's grounder, Kirby's homer, Steve Bartman, etc. Colossus, since you were the last winner, you go first.

1. was it a WS moment? yes.

I won't count the second question since it wouldn't have been asked if the first answer was known.
