VIDEO: September 18, 1993: Scott Erickson loses his 19th game

[Otto von Ballpark]

Scott Erickson flirts with a dubious record as he loses his 19th game of the season, with 2 scheduled starts remaining. (Spoiler alert: Erickson bravely takes the ball in his next 2 starts and escapes each with a no-decision.) After the Twins loss, the Metrodome is converted from baseball to football so the Gophers can play on the same field later the same day. (Another spoiler alert: the Gophers lost too.) Also witness a fan in Atlanta using a fishing pole to retrieve a foul ball.
