Braves, Giants franchises molded by 1993, MLB's last great pennant race

[StevieM]

SAN FRANCISCO -- The last great pennant race left some with the most beautiful memories in their careers and others with the ugliest of scars.

It created the most radical change in baseball’s playoff format, widely celebrated by today’s players, but lampooned by many who played the game before them.

No matter what happens in the waning weeks of this year’s playoff races, nothing will compare to the drama 25 years ago. The Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants were engrossed in a pennant race that forever changed two franchises, altered the design of future playoff races, and perhaps will lead to dramatic change in the sport.

'I'll never forget that'

The Braves won 104 games and the National League West on the final day of the regular season. The Giants won 103 games, but lost their final game and spent the playoffs at home.

1. Ill never forget

That last game and The Giants loss. I was at the Sacramento Blues Festival (the final one too) listening on the radio while I sold photos. I Met a woman right after the game was over and she ended up (after a few years) being absolutely horrible.
Yeah, pivotal moment.
