Nobody has had a better World Series so far than a former pitcher with a 5.55 earned run average in his only season as a Montreal Expos farmhand. He is Darek Braunecker, 39, and as he strode through the tunnel between the clubhouses at Yankee Stadium early Friday morning, he was the only person fully satisfied with the outcome of both games. The Yankees paid more than they expected for A.J. Burnett. But they wanted him more than pitcher Derek Lowe.
Braunecker is an agent based in Little Rock, Ark. His top two clients are Cliff Lee, the Phillies’ left-hander who won Game 1, and A. J. Burnett, the Yankees’ right-hander who won Game 2. The series is tied as it shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Saturday, but Braunecker is 2-0
