Like most everyone else who follows Major League Baseball, Dennis Eckersley was shocked this summer to see the lightly regarded Oakland Athletics charging their way into the postseason.
And now that the A’s are set to face the Yankees in a do-or-die American League Wild Card game in New York on Wednesday (5 p.m. PT, TBS), he wouldn’t mind seeing them extend their magical run.
“They took the baseball world by storm and it would be a great story if they can keep it going,” says Eckersley, who will be in the TBS broadcast booth as an analyst for the Wild Card game.
