Bryn Smith was 3-0 with a 0.91 ERA, Frank Viola was 3-1 with a 2.17 ERA, Eck was 2-1 with 2 saves and a 0.00 ERA, but the playoff MVP this year goes to the man, the legend, the #1 overall pick in the 1984 draft, Rickey Henderson. Henderson merely hit .276 with a .391 on base average, .500 slugging average, 3 home runs, 8 runs scored and 9 RBI while providing a consistent force throughout the season and the playoffs. 10/23/1990, MIL90-DVD90, Veterans Stadium 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 R H E LOB DP 1990 Mashers 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 6 0 3 0 1990 Destinies 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 6 0 Mashers AB R H BI D T HR BB K SB CS IW HP SH SF AVG PO A E PB Harris 2b 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .275 2 4 0 0 Lake c 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 1 0 0 0 Hudler 3b 4 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .222 0 1 0 0 Gray p 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 Daniels rf 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .280 5 0 0 0 Pendleton 3b 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 Henderson,R lf 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .276 1 0 0 0 Stubbs 1b 4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 .250 10 0 0 0 Burks cf 4 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 .213 3 0 0 0 Trammell ss 4 1 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .343 0 3 0 0 Fisk c 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .302 11 1 0 0 Davis ph 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 Lemke 2b 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .185 0 1 0 0 McDonald p 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 .214 0 1 0 0 Dibble p 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 O'Neill ph 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .333 0 0 0 0 Eckersley p 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 Spiers ph 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1.000 0 0 0 0 Ortiz rf 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .214 0 0 0 0 37 2 6 2 2 0 1 1 5 0 2 0 0 0 0 33 11 0 0 Destinies AB R H BI D T HR BB K SB CS IW HP SH SF AVG PO A E PB Clark,Ja 1b 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .091 11 0 0 0 Ortiz ph 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .300 0 0 0 0 Harris p 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 1 0 0 Whitaker 2b 5 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 .256 3 6 0 0 Strawberry rf 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 .234 2 0 0 0 Johnson ss 5 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .136 1 5 0 0 Felix lf 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 .133 3 0 0 0 Kennedy c 3 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .289 5 2 0 0 Henderson,D cf 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 .175 4 0 0 0 Bell ph 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 Lemon lf 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 King 3b 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .222 1 2 0 0 Aldrete ph 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .222 3 0 0 0 Drabek p 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 .182 0 0 0 0 Oberkfell 3b 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .000 0 0 0 0 36 1 4 1 1 0 0 4 12 0 1 0 0 0 0 33 16 0 0 Mashers INN H R ER BB K PCH STR BF HR IW HP WP DP ERA McDonald 7.0 4 1 1 4 6 117 65 28 0 0 0 0 0 2.84 Dibble 1.0 0 0 0 0 2 12 8 3 0 0 0 0 0 2.35 Eckersley W 2-1 2.0 0 0 0 0 3 20 15 6 0 0 0 0 0 0.00 Gray S 1 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 13 7 3 0 0 0 0 0 5.79 11.0 4 1 1 4 12 162 95 40 0 0 0 0 0 Destinies INN H R ER BB K PCH STR BF HR IW HP WP DP ERA Drabek 10.0 4 1 1 1 5 119 79 33 1 0 0 0 0 3.90 Harris L 0-3 1.0 2 1 1 0 0 22 12 5 0 0 0 0 0 4.82 11.0 6 2 2 1 5 141 91 38 1 0 0 0 0 MIL: O'Neill batted for Dibble in the 9th Davis batted for Fisk in the 11th Spiers batted for Eckersley in the 11th Pendleton inserted at 3b in the 11th Lemke inserted at 2b in the 11th Ortiz inserted at rf in the 11th Lake inserted at c in the 11th DVD: Bell batted for Henderson,D in the 9th Lemon inserted at lf in the 10th Felix moved to cf in the 10th Aldrete batted for King in the 10th Ortiz batted for Clark,Ja in the 10th Oberkfell inserted at 3b in the 11th Aldrete moved to 1b in the 11th GWRBI: Spiers Temperature: 50, Sky: clear, Wind: left to right at 2 MPH.
