Yankee Third Baseman Graig Nettles started out making them in this Series, and that is largely how New York jumped off with two quick wins. Jackson, "Mr. October," dropped out of the starting lineup when he went lame early in the playoff sweep against Oakland, and Nettles came on with both bat and glove. Then he too was sidelined.
