Tigers vs. Cardinals

[bif]

Repeat of the 1968 World Series. How cool would that be?

[Arkham House]

1. Incredibly cool

And not just 1968, but also 1934...two of the more memorable Series in history...

2. Dizzy Dean!

That's the one they had to pulhim off the field because they were throwing stuff at him?

4. Wasn't Joe Medwick

The guy who had to leave the game?

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Yup

He slid hard into... Gehringer, I think.

Detroit fans dinna like that.

bif might've been thinking about Dean standing on the mound and laughing at the Tiger hitters.

When he gave up a coupla hits in the ninth of game seven, Frisch came over to get him, even though St. Louis was ahead 11-0. Dean supposedly said, "Frankie, you ain't takin' me out of this game, and you know it. Go back to second."

11. You're right.

My mistake

3. It would be cool....

But alas, the New York Mets are going to represent the National League in the World Series.

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. That's what I've been hoping for

since about 9 o'clock last night.



Heebus Q, what a year that was! McLain's 31 wins, Gibson's 1.12 ERA.

Then McLain tanked in the Series. Lolich pulled it out for 'em.

12. I was there the night they clinched the pennant

Against the Yankees!

6. very few outside of the Midwest would watch it. Would be cool

I don't have much respect for the Cardinals this season, and would have to root for the Tigers. But it would be nice to see.

I will be rooting for the Cardinals over the Mets

8. Who gives a shit about anyone outside the Midwest?

Really?

[Shakespeare]

7. Oakland v. Detroit

A repeat of the 1972 ALCS. How cool would THAT be?

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. It'll be seriously cool

If Detroit wins.

[RedCloud]

13. Cooler if the good guys finally won!

[LSdemocrat]

14. Guaranteed. The Yankees are already out!
