1977 World Series Game 6Tuesday October 18th, 1977 @ Yankee Stadium in New York, New York The Dodgers avoided elimination behind an explosive rout in game five, but now they’re going to have to do it on the road. Burt Hooton (12 - 7 2.62 ERA 223 IP) will get the ball with the season on the line, and the veteran righty was absolutely brilliant in game two. To stay alive in this series, LA manager Tommy Lasorda will need the man he jocularly called “Happy” to deliver once again. The Yankees are

1977 World Series Game 5 Sunday October 16th, 1977 @ Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA The Dodgers are on the verge of elimination in this World Series, and they are in serious danger of being swept in their own ballpark if they don’t win today. The usually potent offense for LA has been quieted by the New York rotation, with Mike Torrez and Ron Guidry spinning consecutive gems in games three and four, respectively. The good news for the Dodgers, they will have their future Hall-of-Famer, Don

1977 World Series Game 4 Saturday October 15th, 1977 @ Dodger Stadium Los Angeles, CA The Yankees took game three in convincing fashion to regain home field advantage in this best of seven series. Looking to press their advantage, they will turn to an emerging star, Ron Guidry (16 - 7 2.82 ERA 210 IP). The Louisiana-born lefty broke out in a big way during his first full major league season, helping to solidify the rotation along with right-hander Mike Torrez. The 26 year old was fantastic down

1977 World Series Game 3 Friday October 13th, 1977 @ Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California The series is tied at a game apiece as we head out to the West Coast for the first of three games in Los Angeles. The Dodgers are in good spirits, coming off of an absolute drubbing in game two behind a Burt Hooton masterpiece and four long home runs from Cey, Smith, Garvey, and Yeager. They turn to veteran lefty Tommy John (20 - 7 2.78 ERA 220 IP), who finished runner-up in Cy Young voting in ’77. The

1977 World Series Game 2 Wednesday October 12th, 1977 @ Yankee Stadium New York, New York After a thrilling extra-inning walk-off victory, courtesy of reserve outfielder Paul Blair, the Yankees look to press the advantage in this best of seven World Series. To the surprise of many, it will be Jim ‘Catfish’ Hunter (9 - 9 4.71 ERA 143 IP) getting the ball for Billy Martin’s Yankees, who has not pitched in over a month. It has certainly been a year to forget for the 8x All-Star, 5x 20 game winner,

What used to be coined the ’Subway Series’ in the 40’s and 50’s is now a battle of the coasts. The New York Yankees (100 - 62) take on the Los Angeles Dodgers (98 - 64), formerly of Brooklyn, in their ninth World Series against one another.

ALCS - Royals vs. Yankees For the second consecutive year, the Kansas City Royals (102 - 60) and the New York Yankees (100 - 62) will face off with the AL pennant on the line. Last year, the series went the distance, with one of the most iconic endings in playoff history, a Chris Chambliss walk off home run to send the Yanks to the World Series. This year, the series will once again go five games, with a dramatic finish in the final inning. Since he was hired as full time manager after an interim

The Phillies captured their second of three consecutive NL East titles behind the stewardship of Danny Ozark. The Fightin’s had the best lineup in the NL, and they were stacked at nearly every position. Michael Jack Schmidt was

2024 BBWAA HOF Ballot With the new year nearly upon us, it’s time to once again talk about the Hall of Fame, focusing on the candidates on the BBWAA ballot. There are many strong holdovers who either have a shot at election this year, like Todd Helton and Billy Wagner, or will make strides towards future enshrinement, like Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltrán. There are the suspected or confirmed PED users, like AROD, Manny Ramirez, Andy Pettite, and Gary Sheffield, who will all likely fall short of the

2023 World Series Game 5 Rangers (90-72) @ Diamondbacks (84-78) TEX leads 3-1 The Texas Rangers stand just one win away from their first ever World Series Championship after taking games three and four in convincing fashion. To seal the deal, they turn to one of the best postseason pitchers of this era, Nathan Eovaldi. The Texas-born righty has been electric this postseason and looks to become the first pitcher to ever win 5 starts* in a single postseason, and to have his team go 6-0 in those

The Texas Rangers have yet to drop a game on the road this postseason, and they will be sending Max Scherzer to the hill to start game 3. Mad Max has not been his dominant self due to a late season injury, but manager Bruce Bochy will likely only need a few innings from the righty with his top relievers rested and raring to go.

Rob Thomson’s Phillies are just a win away from a return to the World Series, and they have been absolutely dominant at home.

Everything worked just as Rob Thomson planned: the big bats provided power, the defense was flawless, the aces dominated, and the bullpen was solid. But can they bring that show on the road?

Montgomery and Eovaldi were outstanding, the bats came through in big moments, and the bullpen held on to shut the door. In all facets of the game they have outplayed their rival Astros, but don’t assume that will continue with the change in venue. Heading into this series, the Astros

This should be a legendary matchup, with future Hall-of-Fame managers Bruce Bochy and Dusty Baker taking each other on once again.
