Dan Miceli knew the stakes. The veteran Houston Astros reliever was handed the assignment of keeping Game 6 of the 2004 NLCS tied just one more inning, just long enough for one of the Killer B’s to step up and send the Astros to their first ever World Series. The task was simple: get St. Louis Cardinals superstar CF Jim Edmonds to hit into a double play, head to the 13th, and let the B’s do their work. Well, perhaps I should say the goal was simple. The task was a nightmare.
