One last note:

Damned fine ending to the World Series.

It's not up there with '86 or '91 (my two favorite series, of those I've been alive to witness, of couse), but it's close. It's definitely up there with '85.

and the smeggin' Giants blow it again.

mind you, i had only two reasons to support the Giants:
1. Shawon Dunston, a former Cub and one of my favourite players;
2. i don't live in San Francisco any more, so that makes it okay.

yes i'm weird, why?

Dunston will always hold a place in my heart as the Guy the Cubs Drafted Ahead of Dwight Gooden. Which means he's responsible for the '86 mets in some ways. :-)

Yeah, the Giants blew it. But they already had their amazing series win back in 1954. The Angels never had a win. So they needed it more. :-)

Besides, the Angels had a monkey.

Ahhhhhhh! The Winslow!

Hooray! Someone else recognizes it! I mean, I knew that rollick and glenn5 would, but I wasn't sure about anyone else.

Ive been a proud Phil Foglio fan since the first days of "Whats New with Phil and Dixie". :-)

That was how I rediscovered him. :-) I had read him back before I really made writer/artist associations, back in the Myth adaptations, but it wasn't until I found the first What's New compilation at DragonCon (back in 94) and picked up the Stanley and His Monster series that I really became a fan.

Yeah, that sure was a great series. And just when I had mostly given up on baseball out of boredom.

I'll agree with you on 1985--Kansas City was my hometown back then. The other series that stands out for me was the Reds and Red Sox in 1975.
