LOS ANGELES -- For nearly 30 years, some Los Angeles Dodgers fans have been bitter that Tommy Lasorda let Tom Niedenfuer pitch to Jack Clark with first base open. The man on deck saw it differently.Andy Van Slyke was only 24 years old then and he remembers that postseason as if it were "vapor, here one minute, then gone," but he had enough mindfulness to surmise that particularly situation clearly. It was the ninth inning in Game 7 of the 1985 National League Championship Series and, even if Lasorda walked Clark, Van Slyke knew he wouldn't have gotten to hit.
