Actually, that's 0-22 at making the World Series in a winning season. Which is why the Marlins are at a perfect 100%.

>Since 1999, heading into Beckett's start in Game 6, pitchers had made 37 postseason starts on short rest. They'd gone 6-20, with a 5.93 ERA. As a group these gents were probably were better pitchers than 6-20, so this stat says something. /slight aside >(That would be the Devil Rays, with zero.) Didn't the Devil Rays sign Wade Boggs to a retirement contract with a clause that he wear a T-Bay cap if inducted into the Hall?

If they did, it's a mistake on their part. The rules have been changed (maybe because of that rumour) so that the HOF makes the decision on who wears what cap (re: Gary Carter and the Expos cap).
