The History of the Chase

 Jack Torrance - contributing reporter

Down 3-1 in the NLCS, Buffalo's experience and vets pull out the comeback and upset of New Orleans by taking the final three games and claiming their 6th NL pennant. Atlanta easily claims their franchise leading 14th AL pennant. In what could be Gregor Lopez's final year, it appears he gets at least one more shot at at title.
