Wanted to take a break from my look at the best chart hits of 1980s because the baseball playoffs are upon us.

Now, I don't intend to try to convince people who hate baseball how great the game is, but those of us who love it know exactly why. It's brawn and brains, strategy and physicality, and it's tradition.

However, for most of us over 30, it was the first sport we ever saw on TV or live. It was probably the first game we ever played in an organized fashion, and so baseball brings back a lot of childhood memories.

But baseball is also the most mathematical of all sports. What other game can you watch while maintaining a detailed sheet full of stats and notes simply for the sake of going through the process of recording it?

I'll admit that I don't watch near enough baseball during the regular season. I might have watched 20 full games this season, but I probably caught 60 partials. However, once the postseason gets here, I'm all about it.

And tonight, the team I've donned as 2007's club of destiny -- the Colorado Rockies -- came back from an 8 to 6 deficit in the bottom of the 13th to beat San Diego in a one-game playoff 9 to 8.

It was a four-hour game, and none of it was boring. In fact, I'm so jacked right now, I'll have a hard time sleeping. No, I'm not a Rockies fan, but given that I'm a Rangers fan, I feel for these guys, never having won it. And Todd Helton, one of baseball's great people getting his chance in the playoffs is terrific. And Matt Holliday is from Oklahoma, so there's a hometown tie-in, even if he is a Poke.

However, more than that, they truly have a team-of-destiny feel. If tonight's comeback didn't prove it, I don't know what will. Then again, they do have a series or two to win to even get to the World Series.

And it only gets tougher from here.

Just ask the 1986 Mets, who absolutely had a team-of-destiny look only to be down three games to two in their Series against Boston. By now, any novice baseball fan knows what happened in the bottom of the 10th in Game 6.

Calvin Schiraldi (Longhorn). Mookie Wilson. Bill Buckner. Ray Knight.

It was the most exciting finish to a World Series game I had ever seen, although I've seen some really great ones -- Joe Carter, Kirk Gibson, Luis Gonzalez, Edgar Renteria, and the best World Series game of all time, Minnesota's 1-0 win over Atlanta in Game 7 of the 1991 fall classic (I pulled for the Braves.).

However, you can't find these on YouTube anymore. Danged MLB copyright police.

But an enterprising soul on MySpace (and YouTube, I do believe), who goes by the name "Jaime," recreated Game 6's famous 10th inning ... with Vin Scully's television call and Nintendo.

This is incredible stuff, and an amazing job by this guy. It's fun to watch and even more amazing that he was able to recreate it using a simplistic video game. Enjoy.
