EPISODE SUMMARY

We travel back in time 20 years to one of the most exciting postseasons in baseball history: 2003. The Red Sox and Cubs lost in heartbreaking fashion. Barry Bonds came up short in the postseason once again. Aaron Boone became a Yankee hero. And a 72 year old manager led the Florida Marlins to their second underdog title in seven years.
