The eighteen times in Major League history where a team was down 3-2 in the World Series and they have come back to win it all:

Year Team      Opp.
2002 Angels    Giants
2001 D-backs   Yankees
1991 Twins     Braves
1987 Twins     Cardinals
1986 Mets      Red Sox
1985 Royals    Cardinals
1982 Cardinals Brewers
1979 Pirates   Orioles
1973 A's       Mets
1968 Tigers    Cardinals
1958 Yankees   Braves
1952 Yankees   Dodgers
1946 Cardinals Red Sox
1940 Reds      Tigers
1934 Cardinals Tigers
1926 Cardinals Yankees
1925 Pirates   Senators
1924 Senators  Giants

 

There have been only six times where a team won Games 6 and Game 7 on the road for the title: 1926 Cardinals over Yankees, 1934 Cardinals over Tigers, 1952 Yankees over Dodgers, 1958 Yankees over Braves, 1968 Tigers over Cardinals and the 1979 Pirates over Orioles.

Hopefully, today, the Yankees will stop the Phillies from making these lists of nineteen and seven.

Did you know that, since 1996, there have been just five “Game Six” situations played in the World Series – and the Yankees have played in three of those five?

New York’s record in these: One win in 1996 and two losses in 2001 and 2003.

In fact, the last “Game Six” in the World Series was the last World Series game played at the “last” Yankee Stadium…which the Yankees lost.

In any event, so, what are you thinking about the World Series so far? Most exciting one in baseball since 2002? It just may be…if you ask me.

Hey, Yanks…

…because you don’t want to end up like the 1985 St. Louis Cardinals, 1979 Baltimore Orioles, 1968 St. Louis Cardinals, 1958 Milwaukee Braves, or 1925 Washington Senators, do a solid, tonight, and…

It’s the Nick Swisher and Joe Blanton reunion game! Here are the fellas, together, back in 2005:

Don’t ask me whose hand that is making happy time with Swishalicious – but, it just might be Chad Gaudin!

The Yankees won’t say who’s catching A.J. Burnett until Joe Girardi arrives at the ballpark today and posts his starting line-up. But, in case it’s Jorge Posada, let’s hope that “Jorgie & The Pie Man” take this suggestion…

Let’s hope we’re not getting a shot full of this today…

…cause, if the Big Man don’t get it done, it’s going to be all uphill for the Yanks from there…

So, how are you feeling today? Excited? Nervous? A little of both?
