1985 – In Game 4 of the ALCS, Al Oliver pinch-hits a two-run double in the 9th inning to give the Blue Jays a 3 – 1 win over Kansas City and a 3-1 lead in the Series. Until this year’s best-of-seven format was adopted, the three victories would have sent the Blue Jays to the World Series, but Kansas City will take advantage of the format change to come back and take the series.
