1996 CYBER FIELD OF DREAMS WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW: Charlottesville Squids vs Brookfield Brouhaha (HFA). The '96 edition of the world series features two teams that got here by the skin of their teeth. A single different result in an at bat for each team could have resulted in two different teams playing here. The Brouhaha become the first '93 expansion team to make the world series, in their 4th year of existance. They got to the world series on some great overall team performances and some clutch hits. The battle with the Whaleheads was one of the best playoff series to ever occur in the CFOD. Remember Lee Stevens' 3-run game winning shot in game two vs the Whaleheads? Dale Sveum's 7th game, 9th inning, 2-out RBI single to tie it up and send it into extra innings where Jim Edmonds won the series with a 2-run homer? The Brouhaha then faced the Rivendell Thunder in the Ruth-Young conference finals, where they overcame a 2-1 game deficit to win it in 6 games. As far as Brouhaha hitting is concerned, it's difficult picking out the franchise players, as the offense is pretty spread out. Edgar Martinez, who returns to the world series after his '91 & '92 appearances with the Coneheads, has a .577 SLG with 7 runs and 7 RBI. Bernard Gilkey has 10 runs with a 0.414 OBA, while Benito Santiago has 10 RBI with a 0.413 SLG average. The team has been noticably polar with respect to pitchers, hitting a horrid 0.194/0.295/0.293 versus lefties, while slamming right handers at a 0.323/0.392/0.535 clip. The Squids have been a feast or famine team in the playoffs. Their 7-1 dominant home record is off-set by their 1-5 away record. Both of their series have gone 7 games: They won all home games against the Lightning, but lost all away games. Home field advantage assured the game 7 victory. The Squids piled up a 3-0 lead against the Sluggers in the Mantle-Koufax conference series, but blew the next three games, and it was ninth-inning heroics that got the Squids to the world series. The hitting of the Squids has been astonomical. Juan Gonzalez has been *the man*, with 6 homers and *27* RBI in 14 games. With that pace, Gonzalez would have 312 RBI in 162 games. Juan is joined by Brady ".364/.485/.673/17 runs" Anderson, John ".700 SLG/6 HR/17 RBI" Jaha, Gary ".493 OBA/.500 SLG/13 runs/ 17 BB" Sheffield, and Mark ".358/.404/.491" Grudzielanek in a dominant hitting force. Juan "1.76 ERA/30 2/3 IP/4 GS" Guzman and Chuck "2.60 ERA/27 2/3 IP/4 GS" Nagy have been solid starters. The only problem is that the Squid relief pitching and defense has been bad enough to nearly cost them two series. The team has commited 17 errors in 14 games, with shortstop Mark Grudzielanek being the biggest culprit with 9. John Wetteland was supposed to give the Squids automatic saves, but in the playoffs he's lost 2 games, and allowed 10 runs in 7 2/3 innings. This should prove to be an interesting series. The Brouhaha have a well- oiled hitting machine (against righties, anyways), while the Squids are just as likely to self destruct as they are to destroy the other team. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * GAME ONE -- Squids (Guzman) at Brouhaha (Portugal). The Brouhaha got out of the gate quickly, with Bernard Gilkey having an RBI single and an RBI double by BJ Surhoff as 8 Brouhaha batters went to the plate in the 1st inning. The Squids tightened up the game in the 2nd on a single by Seitzer. The Squids took the lead in the 3rd on a 2-run shot by Girardi and an RBI triple by Anderson. Portugal quickly lost effectiveness and only lasted 2 innings. The Brouhaha tied it up at 4-all after 4 innings on solo shots by Edgar Martinez and Jose Valentin. Then, "the play". Jose Offerman hits one toward Jose Valentin, who has his first start .. and he boots it. The Squids made Valentin pay, as Gary Sheffield hit a 2-run homer to make it a 6-4 Squid game. The Brouhaha closed the gap to 1 run in a 7-6 Squid game, but that was all they could muster. John Wetteland (!!) throws a scoreless (!!) ninth to seal the Squid win to steal home field advantage away from the Brouhaha. SQUIDS LEAD 1-0.

Game two featured a showcase of pitching and good concealment of team errors. Jose Valentin commited yet another error in the 2nd, but the Squids couldn't capitalize. In the top of the third, BJ Surhoff hit a bases loaded sacrifice fly to give the Brouhaha the 1-0 lead. In the 4th Jose Valentin padded it with his second solo shot of the world series. The Squids missed a chance late in the game when Gonzalez hit a bases empty double, and advanced to third when an Edgar Martinez error let John Jaha on base with only 1 out. But the Brouhaha pitching prevailed, and the Brouhaha got out of the inning unscathed. Rick Honeycutt pitched the last two innings, and mowed down Anderson, Gonzalez and Jaha in the 9th to get the save as the Brouhaha blanked the Squids 2-0. SERIES TIED 1-1.

Another game for the ages. The Brouhaha have had difficulty against lefties so far in the playoffs, but not today. In the 1st, Edgar Martinez walked and Dave Martinez smacked a homer to give the Brouhaha a quick 2-0 lead. The Squids put on a show of their own in the top of the 2nd, scoring 4 runs on a Jaha sac fly, 2-run dinger by Seitzer and an RBI double by Offerman. The Brouhaha hit parade continued in the bottom of the 2nd, on a solo shot by Edgar Martinez, and Dave Martinez scoring on a throwing error to third by Juan Gonzalez. LHP John Smiley's line for the day: 2 IP, 8 hits, 4 runs (3 earned). Ben McDonald wouldn't fare much better. He was done in the 3rd inning when Sheffield put the Squids ahead 5-4 on a solo shot. We go to the top of the 5th, moment of truth time. 0 outs, Girardi on 3rd, Sheffield on first, Bailey facing Brady Anderson. Anderson pops out to Surhoff. With 1 out and Juan Gonzalez at bat, Bailey throws a wild pitch. Sheffield goes to 2nd, but Girardi doesn't score. Gonzalez whiffs. 2 outs. Bailey facing Jaha. Does Bailey save the inning? Nope. Jaha smacks a 2-RBI double to give the Squids the 7-4 lead. Bailey's done for the day. Turk Wendell comes on and lets Jaha score, but gets the Brouhaha out of the inning. The Squids add insult to injury in the 6th when Brady Anderson smacks a 2-run shot to make it a 10-4 game. A six game lead, with the likes of Mel Rojas and John Wetteland left to pitch the final 3 innings. With Stanton pitching for the Squids, the Brouhaha try to cut into the lead. In the 7th, Dave Martinez hits an RBI single, and gets home on a 2-run shot by Bernard Gilkey. 10-7 Squids. The Brouhaha start to make the Squids a little nervous in the 8th, when BJ Surhoff smacks another 2-run shot, this time off Mel Rojas, to close the gap to 1. A 6-run lead is now down to 1, but the Squids can take solace in the fact that there's just 3 more outs, and John Wetteland would be on the mound. With 0 outs, the Squids find themselves in a potential mess, when Santiago hits a leadoff double. Jeff Conine hits a fly ball out, but it was good enough to move Santiago over to third with only 1 out. Wetteland walks the next batter, Jeff Cirillo, still with only 1 out. Jose Valentin ties it up at 10-all on an RBI double. John Wetteland intentionally walks BJ Surhoff to load the bases. Wetteland was done for the day, facing 9 batters and allowing 2 runs to score with only 1 out in the ninth. Now on board is Paul Assenmacher, who has to deal with the bases loaded mess left by Wetteland. His opponent? Light hitting Omar Vizquel. A double play would get the Squids out of the inning. It doesn't happen. Omar smacks one to the outfield .. into the glove of an outfielder. But it was long enough to allow Jeff Cirillo to score from third, and the Brouhaha come back from a 6 run deficit to win it in the bottom of the 9th in a 11-10 victory. The Brouhaha's clutch hitting takes advantage of Gonzalez's throwing error and the faltering Squid bullpen to pull ahead in the series, 2 games to 1.

The Brouhaha got off to a shaky start on this one. In the bottom of the 2nd, Juan Gonzalez popped one out to Valentin, but Valentin biffs it, allowing Gonzalez another at bat. Valentin has errored 3 times in four world series games. Gonzalez makes the most of his opportunity, singling and later advancing to third where he scores on a sac fly by Kevin Seitzer. Whatever alien of stone gloves possessed Mark Grudzielanek in the early playoff games has possessed Valentin now. The Brouhaha tie it up at 1-each in the third on a Jeff Cirillo solo shot. The Squids retake the lead 2-1 in the bottom of the third when Offerman doubles with 0 outs, is moved to third by Girardi and scores on a fielder's choice. But Valentin's error was erased in the sixth, when Benito Santiago hit a 2-run shot, and the following batter, Jeff Cirillo taters again to give the Brouhaha a 3-run sixth and back to back homers. Osvaldo Fernandez lasted 5 1/3 innings. Gary Sheffield closed the gap to 4-3 in the 8th with a solo shot off Heathcliff Slocumb, but the Brouhaha had another big inning in the 9th. Paul Assenmacher, with 2 outs and the bases loaded, walked Bernard Gilkey to make it 5-3. BJ Surhoff cleared up the bases a bit with a 2-RBI single to make it a 7-3 lead. Slocumb pitched a scoreless ninth to get the save as the Brouhaha move one step away from their first CFOD championship. BROUHAHA LEADS 3-1.

For the first third of the game, the pitching of each team shut the other's offense down. The first score of the game was in the top of the 4th with a Juan Gonzalez solo shot. In the 6th, the Squids scored again when a Portugal error let Girardi on base, who advances to third on Sheffield's double, and both Girardi and Sheffield score on a 2-RBI double by Juan Gonzalez. The Brouhaha closed the gap to a 3-1 game in the 7th on a Surhoff triple and score on a fielder's choice. But that was all the Brouhaha could muster. The Squids padded their stats in the 8th & 9th, led by a 2-run shot by Juan Gonzalez, a solo shot by Brady Anderson, and a bases loaded walk and wild pitch by Doug Bochtler. Paul Assenmacher and Mike Stanton closed out the Brouhaha, who could only muster up a single run for the game. Squids win in an 8-1 rout, and more importantly stay alive in the world series.

The Brouhaha were looking to win the series. The Squids were looking to go to game seven. Who would get their wish? As it turns out, the Squids would, by way of a monster 3rd inning. It started out innocently enough. Brady Anderson hit a 2-out, 2-RBI single to make it 2-0 Squids. Then the floodgates opened. Juan Gonzalez clears the bases with a 3-run homer to make it 5-0. Hershiser lasts 2 2/3 innings. Jose Valentin's handy glove work fails again, allowing Jaha on with a two-base throwing error. Kevin Seitzer doubles Jaha in, making it 6 runs in a row with 2 outs. Mark Grudzielanek gets on base and Kevin Seitzer advances to third on yet *ANOTHER* error, this time by Edgar Martinez. As if to get in on the blame, Turk Wendell balks, letting Kevin Seitzer score. After Nagy gets a hit, Jose Valentin's glove fails *AGAIN*, allowing Jose Offerman on first and letting Grudzielanek score. Joe Girardi caps the inning with a 2-RBI triple, to give the Squids the 10-0 lead, all generated with 2 outs in the 3rd, with 5 of those runs unearned. The Brouhaha never had a chance in this game, and the Squids force a game seven in the 11-4 drubbing. The series goes back to Brookfield for the final game of the '96 CFOD playoff season.

Both the Brouhaha and Squids have had a superior regular season and playoff run, but there can be only one champion. In the top of the 2nd, Juan Gonzalez drew first blood with a solo shot. BJ Surhoff tied it in the bottom of the 2nd with an RBI single. In the 4th, Juan Gonzalez and John Jaha each smacked RBI doubles to make it a 3-1 Squid lead. The Squids lengthened their lead in the 5th with Gary Sheffield scored on a fielder's choice. Ben McDonald lasted 4 innings. In the bottom of the 5th, a John Smiley wild pitch allowed a run to score to shorten the lead to 2 runs. The Squid relief corps took over in the 7th inning with a runner on first .. and the predictable happened. Off Mel Rojas, Bernard Gilkey hit a sac fly to make it 4-3, and Jeff Conine hit an RBI single to tie it up at 4-all. The Brouhaha kept it tight until the top of the 9th, when Juan Gonzalez, hot for the past couple of games (and the playoffs in general), smacked a 2-run shot in the ninth of Doug Bocthler to give the Squids the 6-4 lead. The Squids had made their play, but they still had to get 3 Brouhaha batters out in the bottom of the inning. Other teams have failed to stop them before.. The bottom of the ninth started off well for the Brouhaha. Dave Martinez walked, and with Wetteland pitching, Bernard Gilkey singled, all with 0 outs. Wetteland K'd Santiago and Conine to put up a quick 2 outs. The next batter, Jeff Cirillo, walked to load the bases. 2 outs, bases loaded, down 2 runs. Could it get any tighter? The next batter: Pinch hitter Jose Valentin. Valentin's glove has been eratic, although his bat has been excellent. A hit here could bring in two runs, or more. The Brouhaha came out in situations like this before. Would they do it again? Nope. It wasn't to be. Wetteland strikes him out, getting the save, winning the game and the series. The Brouhaha had an excellent playoff run and was a worthy opponent, but the Squids had a little extra (not to mention the playoff MVP) and erased the 3 games to 1 deficit to win it in 7 games in one of the most memorable series to ever be played. SQUIDS WIN SERIES 4-3. SQUIDS 1996 CFOD WORLD CHAMPIONS! PLAYOFF MVP: Without a doubt, the playoff MVP was Juan Gonzalez. Juan put up the best 21 game stretch of anyone in league history, regular season or playoffs. Gonzalez hit .337/.344/.758, with 7 doubles, *11* homers, 18 runs, and *40* RBI, and just about singlehandedly won game 7 of the world series.
