houston advances and sad day for jays

the houston astros advance to the n.l.c.s with a 7-6 18 inning game. long one indeed. they play the st.louis cardinals, who won last night ofer san diego.

sad day for anyone who's followed the jays. tom cheek, the long time radio play by play announcer, passed away early this morning to brain cancer. he started there with the first game on a snowy day on april 7 1977 with a 7-4 win over the white sox. doug ault with 2 homers. he went 4306 straight games before missing games with his fathers funeral and the operation to remove a cancerous tumer in his brain. best memory - "TOUCH 'EM ALL JOE! YOU'LL NEVER HIT BIGGER HOMER IN YOU LIFE!" that from game 6 of the '93 world series against philadelphia.
