Terry Steinbach recalls A's confidence vs. Giants in 1989 World Series

Editor's Note: Watch Games 1 through 4 of the 1989 World Series between the Giants and A's this week at 8 p.m. on NBC Sports California and streaming here, beginning Monday and wrapping up Thursday.

The A’s famously dominated the 1989 World Series, sweeping the Giants in four games.

Oakland was the heavy favorite, and ultimately delivered an outcome most expected.

But if there was a way for San Francisco to have pulled off an upset -- how would it have been accomplished?

“The one thing that they would have had to figure out, is how to hit the forkball,” former A's catcher Terry Steinbach told NBC Sports California via FaceTime on Friday.
