When we near the end of a season, I always remember some of the improbable comebacks from death to life or life to death that we've seen, even in the recent past.
Who can forget the 2007 Colorado Rockies, who won 13 of their final 14 games to force a one-game tiebreaker with the San Diego Padres for the wild card? They won that game and eventually reached the World Series. With two weeks left in the 2011 season, the Tampa Bay Rays trailed the Boston Red Sox by four games.
