Interesting that Kurt Bevaqua's last name in Italian means "drink water"...

I see Francisco Cabrera & Sid Bream from the early 90's Braves teams are already mentioned but one guy from those teams who fit the thread title's description to a T is second baseman Mark Lemke. Guy always seemed to get a clutch hit in the postseason!

Jose Vizcaino, won Game 1 of the 2000 Subway series with 4 hits and a 12th inning walk-off single.

Went hitless the rest of the series, but Yanks got all they needed out of him that first game.

He also had several key moments coming in as a fill-in during the ALCS against the Mariners the same year.

Both he and Luis Sojo did an admirable job filling in for Chuck Knoblauch at 2nd base, who by now was in full yips mode.

This Jays fan will forever hold a soft spot for 1992 WS MVP Pat Borders.

Tom Lawless has to be mentioned here. One career home run at the time and a .080 Batting average for the season on his resume, hits a 3 run homer off Frank Viola and did a bat flip that would make Reggie Jackson proud.

Gene Tenace was mentioned a couple times, but I don't think he belongs in this thread. He's had people argue for him for the HOF, he's got a lifetime OBP of nearly .400, a lifetime OPS+ of 136 and is ranked by Baseball Reference as the 13th ranked catcher All-Time.

He was no underdog, even if he was under-rated in his day, before modern analytics turned him into a superstar.

If you're going to channel Tommy Lasorda, then we'd best get the whole thing in here:

Note: Some strong language is used. Listener discretion is advised.
