Every Wednesday at The Athletic our MLB writers are diving into a key “what if?” scenario for a different club. This week, the 102-win Oakland A’s are the focus as we examine what if Jeremy Giambi slid into home in Game 3 of the 2001 American League Divisional Series? Beat writer, Alex Coffey is here to share what she learned after discussing the scenario with Eric Chavez, Terrence Long, F.P. Santangelo, skipper Art Howe, and Giambi himself. What did she find? That the answer isn’t as simple as you think.
