The highlight of this section had to be the epic battle between Jacob DeGrom and Rube Waddell in series 45. The arms battled three times in the series and DeGrom pitched a fantastic game seven to push the Mets through. Few battles like that could be expected to be repeated. Two modern clubs in the 2017 Dodgers and 2018 Blue Jays cruised to the next round but the better Toronto team had to be the 1984 club that were lead by Bobby Cox and buried the Bash Brothers.

Babe Ruth was back with the 1922 Yankees who didnt miss a beat while the captain Derek Jeter had a huge game seven as the 2006 Yankees held off a very good Cardinals team. The 2019 Orioles won the battle of 100 loss teams while the 1903 Cardinals walked off game seven in extra innings off of a wild pitch to eliminate the Royals. Finally, Nick Punto proved to be a clutch performer winning two games for the 2005 Twins in their series triumph over the 2011 Nats.

We have yet to see Willie Mays but the next draw of clubs should keep the Field of Dreams hot.
