Don Mincher Led A's In Key World Series Moment
Don Mincher, the Oakland first baseman, delivered a clutch tying single off Clay Carroll to fuel a three games to one lead in the World Series. He later faced questions about a playoff strikeout and defended his actions while manager Dick Williams praised him. Mincher recalls a 1968 face injury that left him largely deaf in his right ear.
