Kiger Counter
Mark Kiger becomes the first player to make his major league debut in the post season. He takes over at second after Kielty pinch-hits for Jimenez.
Update: Kiger gets a putout and the Tigers don't score. The A's go into the ninth once again needing to score three runs to tie.
Update: I suppose it's possible that Kiger never appears in a regular season game. He's going to be a great trivia question some day.
Jorge Posada almost pulled the same trick, but he did have one major league appearance before getting into a postseason game in 1995. And of all things for him, he entered the game as a pinch-runner. Anyway, I was hoping Kiger would get into a game to pull this off!
