The hero:
Jim Leyritz
There are new Padres heroes this time around, as well as Mr. Padre himself, >Tony Gwynn. Together, they're going to the NLCS for just the second time in franchise history.
With Jim Leyritz hitting another clutch home run, San Diego ran Randy Johnson and the Astros out of the playoffs, winning 6-1 Sunday night to take the division series three games to one and return to the NLCS for the first time since 1984.
"Coming into this series, a lot of people wrote us off," Gwynn said. "And I'll be honest with you, I think the only people who thought we could win this thing were the players."
