All-Time Franchise Baseball Tournament: RED SOX WIN IT ALL!

[Norah]

Then we can start the next one!

Jack Morris won the game he had to win, setting this all in motion.

Another big playoff win to put on his HOF resume.

Seriously. I don't get why he is not in the HOF.

Because he shouldnt be?

pretty much

Where does everyone stand on Schilling for the HoF? Granted he'd better than Morris (IMHO) but I think Schill gets in.

I'm all for Schilling being in it.

A few of my friends and I are throwing around this idea for a hall of fame contest. Where we predict the Hall class the next 4 years. Prizes tba. Fun idea.

Game one matchups...

Detroit Tigers at Boston Red Sox
Verlander (R) vs. Martinez (R)

New York Yankees at Cleveland Indians
Hunter (R) vs. Perry (R)

I might be happier about the Cardinals losing than the Tigers winning

[Lament]

I am a little sad Kaius won't be posting anymore pictures of real life cardinals. There was one of a cardinal sitting on top of a US flag that I was hoping he'd post if they won their series.

[BigRedLedbetter]

How many Cardinals vs Yankees World Series have there been?

[Lament]

722.

[BigRedLedbetter]

722.

Feels like it. I wanna say like 5-6?

[@SkitchP]

I cant imagine its that many? But maybe that's just recently

[Lament]

I just assume every World Series that took place before 1988 was Yankees-Cardinals, with the exceptions of 1906, 1917, 1919, and 1959.

[@SkitchP]

looks like 5, but none since 1964.

[Lament]

There are probably more Yankees-Dodgers ones than Yankees-Cardinals, right?

[EJ]

How many Cardinals vs Yankees World Series have there been?

5, I believe.

[Lament]

Looks like eleven Yankees-Dodgers ones.

[@SkitchP]

There are probably more Yankees-Dodgers ones than Yankees-Cardinals, right?

Yeah, looks like 11.

[EJ]

There are probably more Yankees-Dodgers ones than Yankees-Cardinals, right?

Yep, 8.

Edit: oops, nope.

[@SkitchP]

Honestly for 2 very old and very good franchises, the Yankees and Cardinals really have not played each other that much.

[BigRedLedbetter]

All of that is just madness. Ranger fan has a hard time grasping that.

[EJ]

And, 7 Yanks-Giants series'.

[Lament]

Most importantly though, one White Sox-Astros World Series.
