2002
With the Giants leading 5–0 after six 1/2 innings, the Angels score three runs in the 7th and three more in the 8th to come away with a 6–5 victory that evens the Series at three games apiece. Scott Spiezio hits a 3–run homer for Anaheim while Darin Erstad also connects. Brendan Donnelly gets the win in relief. Shawon Dunston and Barry Bonds homer for SF.
That may be as close as Bonds ever gets to a World Series title.
1997
The Indians jump out to a 2-0 lead over Florida, but the Marlins claw their way back and tie the score in the bottom of the 9th on a sacrifice fly by Craig Counsell. In the last half of the 11th, SS Edgar Renteria gets his 3rd hit of the game, driving home Counsell with the winning run, as Florida wins Game seven by a score of 3-2. The Marlins thus become the fastest team in baseball history to win a World Series title, three years quicker than the 1969 Mets. P Livan Hernandez is named Most Valuable Player of the Series.
That may be as close as the Indians ever get to another World Series Title
1986
Mr. Hammer's 8:00am Advanced Math Class is stopped at Waterford High School as he gives class time to a friend of mine. That friend recounts the Red Sox heartbreaking loss to the Mets in Game Six of the World Series the night before. Everyone laughs at me. I don't become bitter.
1910
The Washington Post headlines a rumored trade with Walter Johnson going to Detroit for Ty Cobb. Detroit president Frank Navin scoffs at the story, saying he would never trade Cobb, but praising Johnson "as the best pitcher in the country."
Imagine ESPN around in 1910. It's easy if you try.
