seanJoe Tinker was known as the best man to come through in the clutch of anyone in baseball at that time. Sometimes lifetime records don't necessarily show how good a player really was. It was Tinker's help that got the cubs through to the series in many tight races (especially the '08 series). It also helps that the cubs had the tightest infield of anyone else. That coupled with Kling catching made it very tough to get hits through the infield.
