Former A’s ace Dave Stewart gives keys to success in the postseason

Baseball’s postseason begins in earnest Friday. Which means, for one delicious day anyway, a schedule chockablock with alpha pitchers, ace vs. ace.

Here’s hoping the hurlers who are entrusted with a Game 1 caught Dave Stewart’s appearance on The Sporting News’ show, “Change Up.”

If you missed Stew when he and the Tony La Russa A’s were in the heyday, you missed history in the making. From 1988-1992, the A’s made the postseason four times in five years. And (Grandpa voice) they had to actually win something to get it. Not like now when 23 teams make the playoffs and the rest get participation ribbons.
