Dig if U will the picture.
Think back 17 years, if your baseball experience allows it.
It was 1999, and the Texas Rangers, in what was then the most optimistic stretch in franchise history, were once again sent into a circle around the drain by the frustratingly insurmountable New York Yankees.
Back in 1996, Texas had beaten the Yankees, in New York, in its first-ever playoff game, pretty comfortably. The Rangers offense scored six times off David Cone in his six innings of work, and John Burkett went the distance in the 6-2 Texas win.
The Rangers should have won Game Two, but squandered an early 4-1 lead and lost in 12 innings.
