The Marlins Fanbase and their many Owners

Dodgers and Giants. Ebbets Field, the polo grounds....across the span of a continent to continue....

Reds vs. Pirates in the 1970's, they met several times in the playoffs.

@@flame-sky7148 Big Red Machine was absolutely dominant.

@@jritechnology Oh yea, the Big Red Machine was dominant. the Reds and Pirates met in the NLCS in 1970, 1972, 1975 & 1979. But as the Pirates won the world series in 1971 & 1979, the Reds won twice as well in 1975 & 1976. The Pirates won their division in 1971 and 1974 but didn't face the Reds during the NLCS. While the Reds lost the world series in 1970 & 1972. There were great teams back then including the A's which won 3 championships in a row during that period, while the Pirate, Yankees and Reds won 2.

That Chambliss homerr...that crushed the Royals the year before. Gearge Brett was not screwing around this year....the fight with him and Nettles in game 5, classic! Billy Martin being Billy Martin....I was a year old, but I saw footage when I was a young kid on ESPN replay and WOW what a series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were also an outstanding team representing the National League in the 1977-'78 World Series. Could the Royals have beaten those Dodgers teams like the Yankees did? We'll never know but your point is valid

@@searchforthestrangler5034 For 1977 they probably could have.

I’m too young to have watched him play, but I can’t believe how good of a hitter he was. Great hitter AND he was clutch.

Speaking of, there was the WS rivalry between the Yankees and the Cards in the 1940s that was rooted in the late 1920s before it got overshadowed by the one with the Dodgers in the following decade. We nearly had the Cards again in 1996 only for them to die after Game 4 in the NLCS.

@@Iamhungeyyeah, it used to be the Yankees-Giants as the subway series until the Giants stopped being relevant for a long time

Mets-Cardinals was a great rivalry in the 1980's, in my opinion the best of the decade.

@@Iamhungey I think losing in 1926 pushed the Yankees doing so well in 1927 sweeping the Pirates and in 1928 sweeping the Cardinals. Although the Cardinals have a 3-2 lead in World Series Titles against the Yankees, the Yankees are 15-13 in W-L all-time vs the Cardinals in the World Series.

@@BBQFanNo1 Plus had the Cards not blown the 3-1 lead in the 1996 NLCS, we would have paid them back for 1964.

'95, '98, '99 - talk about star power... Nomar, Varitek, Vizquel, Lofton, Thome... Manny Ramirez ON THE INDIANS

Same with the Pittsburgh Penguins being a farm for the Montreal Canadiens in the 70s

Dick Howser managed the Yankees in 1980 - he wouldn't put up with Steinbrenner. Eventually Howser became the Royals manager and won the World Series in 1985, defeating Whitey Herzog's St. Louis Cardinals

Maybe controversial only in St. Louis. Like George Brett said, “They still drop the pop up that inning. They still have a passed ball…You didn’t show up for Game 7, you lost 11-0. Suck on it.”

The problem with acknowledging that Frank White actually should’ve been called safe and of course would’ve scored on the next single by Sheridan is that it doesn’t support the narrative that Cardinals need which is denkinger blew the series they need that narrative that’s why they don’t ever wanna acknowledge Frank White like Yankee fans in the pine tar game Cardinal fans and 85 World Series are big bunch of crybabies😂😂

@@DoubleStar92 The Denkinger bumble put the leadoff man on. I say the Royal's go down 1-2-3 in the ninth.

Those Yankees teams got so good in part due to the advent of free agency. Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson, Goose Gossage…they were as much hired guns as anyone in the Yankee lineup today.

I’m glad somebody noticed 🤣

I wish I would’ve highlighted that. There was a really long delay before the Chambliss at bat. Also in another year after, Reggie ran in from RF to switch his hat for a helmet before the final out was made because Yankee fans were ALREADY starting to hang over the wall. Crazy times!

I have that 1978 Rich Gossage card. If you notice the picture is air brushed with the Yankee uniform. He should be wearing a Pittsburgh Pirate uniform on that card.

It was a slip of the tongue!! Sorry frank- err, Freddie!! 😅 All jokes aside Freddie Patek was a GAMER

Lmao I see it 🤣

YES! Crazy that the Royals stole the bat and ran into the clubhouse with it, while the umpires and league officials chased after them to retrieve it. Essentially the commissioner determined that the rule on pine tar was to limit discoloration of baseballs and had nothing to do with unfair competitive advantage. Now whether or not we believe the commissioner is up to us.

Damn.

@@StealingHomeShowI believe the Yankees lost the protest because they were too late getting the bat removed before the game. Who knows if Brett knew it had tar on the bat too much in violation of the rules. I agree with the Royals winning 4-3 because the violation notice occurred after the at bat and was never checked by the teams or umps. Although we don’t know if the tar on it violated the rules. We also don’t know if it was deliberately used to cheat. Maybe there was a coverup, but the best thing to do was uphold the ruling against the Yankees. I’m biased. I hate the Yankees. The rules in sports is all equipment is checked before the game in any sport. If they cheat in the game and proven, toss the player. Since it wasn’t proven Brett deliberately cheated until after the at bat, his home run counts. If they caught it before the home run, they can toss him and replace him. Could have Brett hit the home run without the tar? Yes. Reminds me of Deflategate with Brady. Different sport, same issue. You hit a home run, the only way it shouldn’t count is if you miss a base running. It was a dumb protest. It was a regular season game. Just move on.

Boo Hoo! Poor poor BABY! Too bad the whiny Yankees lost that game! 😂😂 Yankee tears are delicious!

One of those games he said it was bottom of the ninth during a Brett at bat, but it was top as the ROyals were the road team

That's as far as they went taken out by the Phillies in the World Series

@@michaelleroy9281kept the whiny Yankee fans out- that’s a win win 😂

As a Yankee fan I knew they were due to lose to the Royals after beating them 3 consecutive years 1976 1977 and 1978.
