I am sitting here on a random December Tuesday, thinking about Mitch Garver.
Specifically, I’m thinking of Mitch Garver in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, and how he seemingly turned the entire postseason around for the Texas Rangers with one swing of the bat.
You may recall that, prior to Game 3 of the ALCS, the Rangers hadn’t trailed all postseason. They lost Game 3 and Game 4 of the ALCS, at home, in ignominious fashion, were up late in Game 5, and then...
Game 5 was on a Friday night.
