Ryne Sandberg, MLB HOFer
Hall of Famer Peter Gammons previews the MLB playoffs and thinks the Tigers will hold off the Twins over the last weekend to win the AL Central. Gammons praises the Twins for the way they run their organization and how hard the players play.
Peter Gammons talks about what makes Bobby Cox great, the struggles of the Dodgers and Red Sox and why it will take a freak of nature for the Yankees not to reach the World Series.
