WORLD SERIES:
The '90s
Call it the decade of drama. It was delivered suddenly, as with Dave Winfield's and Joe Carter's series-winning hits. And it came slow and steady, as with the underdog Reds' massacre of the mighty A's, and the Yankees' march back from 0-2 to take four straight from the Braves.
