On October 22, 1997 — At Jacobs Field game-time temperature hovering at 35 degrees and snow flurries abound, the coldest start of any postseason game on record, the Indians’ bats come out smoking in Game 4 of the World Series, scoring three runs in the first two on an opposite-field home run by Manny Ramirez, and another trio of tallies in the third inning in their 10-3 rout of the Marlins.

The contest,, which includes third baseman Matt Williams reaching base six times, marks the matchup of two rookie starters on the mound, 21-year-old right-hander Jaret Wright for Cleveland and 23-year-old southpaw Tony Saunders for Florida, making it only the sixth time in the history of the Fall Classic that two freshman hurlers have opposed one another.
