to face New York (114-48), and
the wild-card Boston Red Sox
(92-70) will be in Jacobs Field to
face the defending league-cham
pion Cleveland Indians (89-73).
The Rangers-Yankees series
marks the second time in the last
three seasons that the teams
have squared off in the first
round of the playoffs.
Although Texas boasts a for
midable lineup that includes
outfielder Juan Gonzalez,
catcher Rodriguez and first
baseman Will Clark, it will not
he able to
ue ctuit? iu
match New
York’s pitch
ing and supe
rior depth. AL
batting cham
pion Bernie
Williams,
shortstop
Derek Jeter
and a pitching
staff that in
cludes starters
uavia wens ana uavia uone,
as well as closer Mariano
Rivera, should lead the Yan
kees to the AL Championship
Series.
Boston finished the regular
season with a better record than
Cleveland, but the Indians get
the home-field advantage be
cause they won the weak AL
Central, while the Red Sox fin
ished a distant second to New
York in the AL East.
This series should be a close
one.
In Pedro Martinez, Boston has
a genuine ace who could be the
difference if the series goes to
five games. But Cleveland has
more postseason experience on
its side and can score runs in
bunches on anybody.
Look for the Indians to win,
but barely.
In the National League, the
San Diego Padres (98-64) will
meet the Houston Astros (102
60), and the Atlanta Braves (106
56) draw the winner of last
night’s wild-card playoff be
tween the Chicago Cubs and San
Francisco Giants (both 89-73).
The Padres-Astros matchup
could prove to be the most in
triguing, exciting showdown of
the first round. Gwynn, Kevin
Brown, Greg Vaughn, Ken
Caminiti and Trevor Hoffman
lead a talented San Diego squad,
but the Killer B's (Jeff Bagwell,
Craig Biggio and Derek Bell),
(( Fifty years from now
— when we are the old
timers — the records,
players and magical
moments of this season
will still be revered. >>
Moises Alou
and the Big
Unit (former
Seattle Mariner

son) should
parlay Hous
ton’s home
field advantage
into a second
round ticket.
Atlanta’s
awesome pitcning start iMaa
dux, Tom Glavine and John
Smoltz) and improved hitting
should effectively handle
whichever team advances to face
the Braves.
But let’s return to the hair
raising regular season, which re
established baseball as Ameri
ca’s pulse.
Fifty years from now — when
we are the old-timers — the
records, players and magical
moments of this season will still
be revered.
Then, I will be able to tell
you, and all the young whipper
snappers who will listen, that
the 1998 season was the best
ever. At least as far as 1 remem
ber.
