Tim Raines: a player teams truly feared

By Tangotiger, 11:00 AM

Go to the 1:16:24 mark, and watch it for the next 5 minutes.  The Giants broadcasters are effusive in their praise of Raines, the rookie. 
Vida Blue is beside himself for not getting that last pitch.  The manager huddles with the infielders to decide how to handle the Raines situation. 

And if you enjoyed that, watch all of his at bats, and how the broadcasters talk about him.  00:13:20 - 00:39:20 - 01:16:24 - 01:57:00
