Here’s a fun fact while we’re waiting for the quarantine to end.
From 1947 to 1964, the Yankees went to the Series FIFTEEN times.

In that time period, they were never out of the Series for more than one year: if they didn't go to the Series in one year, they were there the next.

They won TEN out of 15 times.

Sounds like MLB made a decision on The Red Sox.

Didn't watch the whole game, just Gibson's at bat in the bottom of the 9th. I rewatch it from time to time. I remember watching this game live as a kid.

I was 6 years old when this game was played: I remembered, incorrectly, that Gibson’s home run won the entire Series. Which, of course it didn’t.

However, according to my dad, it DID set the tone for the rest of the Series. Athletics were odds on favorites to win it that year. The walkoff homerun made people realize the dodgers could maybe pull this off.

That As team should have won 3 straight based on talent... they did a documentary or a 30 for 30 or some shit on that team. Pretty sure that was the As team that played a cross bay series with the Giants when during one of the games there was an earthquake iirc

I believe that was 89 when the quake happened.

going back to the A’s themselves,
It’s interesting watching Canseco, knowing he was already on the juice at this time

Announcers talking about how he could do it all

Just looking at him and how different his physique is compared to other players

And '89 was the Battle of the Bay with the 'quake. '90 was the Reds upset.

Even if there were no baseball this year, the Dodgers still manage to get fucked over.
