The "unique" comment was supposed to be a (very) little witticism about losing 1 in 100 of your huge leads, of which the Mariners never have huge leads. But yeah. :- )
It probably happens once every two or three years, blowing a lead that size.
That is AMAZING that Lou ran through so many superb relievers -- Daimajin, Nellie and Rhodes were like 1-2-3 in K rate at times that season -- and he couldn't get the brakes put on. Maybe that was karma balance for the other 161 games?
Good stuff Wish, Brian. Heh!
