"You were lucky, Hershiser"

Josh Suchon has written an excellent and entertaining post on his We Are Out of Ink blog about his ongoing relationship with Orel Hershiser -- starting with his comment at the end of the 1988 World Series.

Along with Fernando Valenzuela, Hershiser is one of most difficult of the prominent Dodgers for Giants fans to dislike. For one thing, he pitched a year for the Orange and Black and for another, he always seems like a pretty likable guy even before he stopped playing.
