darkstar965 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 2nd and goal on the one and you call a pass play? Anyway, as an American, I am proud of our teams winning the World Championship 49 years in a row! Better luck next year Bhutan!

darkstar965 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Canada has won before! Great point*. Twice before actually and back to back (92/93). That (Toronto) Jays team, like this year's Nats squad, actually made a huge #1 starter acquisition of a pitcher also now associated with Detroit. It was Jack Morris (though coming from Minnesota then) playing the role Scherzer hopefully is today. And, of course, in '94 the (Montreal) Expos were on track to win 105 games and were 6 up on the Braves when the strike happened and the rest of the season and postseason were cancelled. That disappointment is on any top-10 list of reasons that eventually made the Expos' move to DC in 2005 possible. * The Jays' Championship teams were virtually all-American, of course but a Toronto-based team to be sure. Canada won but not so much Canadians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The World Series began in 1903, but the World Series MVP Award didn't begin until 1955. Here are two World Series trivia questions. Think about them for awhile, and then mouse over for the answers - they may surprise you: There have been 61 MVP Awards given (the World Series wasn't played in 1994 due to a player's strike, and it hasn't yet been played in 2017). 1) How many second basemen from the winning team have won the award? 1) Zero. 2) How many players who played for the losing team have won the award?2) One. In 1960, Bobby Richardson won the award. He was the *second baseman* for the losing New York Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Horoscope Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 For Washington Nationals I nominate Michael A. Taylor! Home runs in consecutive at bats for 7 runs batted in. We should have won Game 5 the way he carried us! --- The 2017 World Series (DaveO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
