  1. This is considered the second biggest comeback in MLB history in terms of percentage chance to comeback to win, with the first one being a 1952 game between the Cubs and Reds.

    In that Cubs-Reds 1952 game, Reds were at home and they were up by 6 runs entering the 9th inning. The Reds retired the first two Cubs hitters in the 9th inning, but then the Cubs scored 7 runs in the 9th to take the lead, and then won it in the bottom of the 9th

  2. The Phillies overcame a 10-run deficit in a home game against the Pirates the previous year. In that one, Pittsburgh went up 10-0 in the top of the 1st, causing Pirates broadcaster Jim Rooker to say something like, "If we lose this game, I'm walking home to Pittsburgh."

    Well, they did lose, as Philadelphia overcame that deficit. Steve Jeltz, who rarely homered, had 2 in this game.

    Rooker didn't walk home that day, but after the season, he walked across Pennsylvania to raise money for a charity.

  3. On the exact 10th anniversary of this game, August 21, twenty hundred, a game in the now-defunct Appalachian Rookie League had a very similar comeback. That time, it was the home team who was down either 11-1 or 11-3 going into their half of the 9th and walked it off by getting to 12 runs.
