Later this season we went on to win the World Series after rallying in the 9th inning in both game 4 and 5 of the NLDS when we were two and three outs respectively from elimination, the latter a three run comeback to tie and then win in the 10th.
I was in a Strat-O-Matic league, very serious stuff, back in the 60's.

Willle McCovey, for my beloved Giants, hit (rolled?) a Lo2B(max) with the bases loaded and no outs to end a playoff game. Ouch.

It was his number, too! I had to roll a 12 to get the result. Almost EVERY other number would have won the game, with home runs on 5, 6, 7, and 8.
