SAN FRANCISCO -- He didn't hit the ball halfway to the Golden Gate Bridge like Barry Bonds.

He didn't appear out of nowhere, like Francisco Rodriguez in a Disney movie come to life.

He didn't struggle in the independent leagues to keep his baseball career alive or overcome his short stature to become the starting shortstop on a World Series team or smack three home runs in one playoff game to put him name alongside legends like Ruth, Gehrig and Reggie.

	Scott Spiezio highlighted a four-run third inning for the Angels with a two-run triple.

But there was Scott Spiezio, former second baseman, aspiring rock star, lining another hit into the gap, driving in two more runs, turning first base hard, chugging past second base, cruising into third with a standup triple in the third inning to give the Angels a 4-1 lead in Game 3 of the World Series.

Maybe it wasn't a Frozen Moment. Call it a Frozen Blur.

OK, maybe Spiezio wasn't quite a blur.

"It seemed like my legs weren't moving that fast around there," he said. "I didn't know if I was going to make it to third."

As the Angels showed that even the toughest hitters' park in the majors can't slow down their high-octane October offense, Spiezio's triple into the corner in right-center showed why he's been as valuable as any Angel this postseason.

He leads the Angels with 16 postseason RBIs in 12 games. He's hitting .372 and tops the club with a .449 on-base percentage. He's been the toughest out in a lineup full of toughest outs.

Scott Spiezio, lead singer for Sandfrog, World Series hero? You can sing his praises.

"You gotta be clutch driving in 82 runs like he did this year, hitting sixth or seventh," teammate Troy Glaus said after the game. "He's been overlooked, but he should be getting the credit, because he's deserving."

Spiezio came to the plate in the top of third with Anaheim leading 2-1 and Tim Salmon on third base and Glaus on first. With Giants starter Livan Hernandez laboring to throw strikes, Spiezio got ahead two balls and one strike and waited for a pitch he could drive.

He laced the next pitch into the gap between center fielder Kenny Lofton and right fielder Reggie Sanders -- right to the big, bold white "421" sign that seems to dare hitters to hit it that far. But only Bonds actually hits it over the 421 sign. Spiezio didn't mind that his ball merely kissed the wall on a roll. It was a kiss that felt plenty sweet.

"This is a big park. The ball doesn't carry that well unless you're Barry Bonds," he said. "I knew I was going to try to keep it out of the air."

Spiezio was quick to deflect credit for his monster postseason. After all, with the Angels hitting .335 as a team he's hardly the only one getting hits.

"You get a lot of RBIs when guys are getting on base in front of you this often," he said.

Spiezio's triple wasn't the only blur of Angels on the basepaths. Prior to Spiezio's hit, the Angels pulled an unlikely hit-and-run play with Salmon and Darin Erstad on first and second and Glaus, who struck out 144 times during the regular season, at the plate. The runners were going on a 3-2 pitch and one out; if Glaus strikes out, it could be an easy double play. But the third baseman singled into left, scoring a run.

On Spiezio's triple, Glaus was running from first. The next inning, when the Angels tacked on another four-spot, Erstad and Salmon were running again and pulled off a double steal, not even drawing a throw from Benito Santiago.

"We're not be the fastest guys, but we're aggressive on the basepaths," Spiezio said of the Angels, who have stolen 10 bases in the postseason to three for their opponents.

Salmon agreed that everything is going Anaheim's way. "Guys are getting good at-bats, putting the ball in play. That's our kind of style of play, but the way we're playing, we can keep putting pressure on the pitcher and defense," he said. "Maybe we're taking advantage of mistakes, I don't know. But everything has snowballed for us."

Spiezio added an RBI single and scored a run in the Angels' four-run fourth inning and he's hitting .364 in the Series. It may be a lot of snowballing going on, but there's no denying Spiezio is one hot rock singer.
