Today In 1972: The Oakland A's win... - Baseball by BSmile

⚾️On October 19, 1972 the Athletics score twice in the bottom 9th to win Game 4 of the World Series, stunning the Reds at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, 3-2. The comeback, giving Oakland a commanding 3-1 lead in the Fall Classic, is fueled by 4 straight singles, 3 delivered by pinch-hitters Gonzalo Marquez, Don Mincherl, and Angel Manual, who delivers the walk-off hit. It was the first time that a team collected 3 pinch hits in the same World Series inning.⚾️ #TheFallClassic | Davenport Sports
