The rest is spot on. It’s essentially Charlie Dressen time “the Giants is dead.” But it’s not 1951 and there was no Willie Mays in the farm system. Heck there’s not even a Willie Kirkland.
The scoreboard showed Bailey on the short list of batters available for pinch hitting duties in the 9th and 10th. When we didn't see him at the plate it was a warning sign this could be serious (just as you mention above!).
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
