Sox/Cards yet again. Two very traditional baseball towns. Too bad they aren't playing this at the beginning of October

Wow, big change from when I was a kid and everyone was glued to the b&w for Koufax v Ford, etc.

Funny memories of trying to hide a transister radio in my clothing and running the earpiece wire up my shirt in Jr high school to listen.

Koufax, but not on Yom Kippur!

bunch a white guys

LOL!! Had similar as I grew up listening to Senators' night games with radio under pillow. The imagination did all the work...and Del Unser slides into third after Epstein's opposite field double. The towering Frank Howard comes up to the plate... sweet memories of Shelby Whitfield and Ron Menchine with their play by play magic until 1971.

Koufax vs Ford...baseball at its pinnacle! (in my lifetime)

Was up and watching. Victorino's shot was completely unexpected.

Detroit was tough. St Louis will be tougher.

They (MLB) killed the game. They sold out for the marketing and night game advertising dollars at the cost of a generation of fans. Few people under 30 give a crap about baseball.

never know what to expect from the Sox, someone different every night. Victorino is a gamer, even gave up switch hitting due to injuries.

Cards will be tougher. Two real "teams", no Pujols, no Adrien Gonzalez types.

ah, yes! The old transitor under the pillow trick. I did it for all sports. Johnny Most high above courtside, 11:00 tip offs from the Cow Palace in San Fran, Russell v Wilt. I'll never know how the radio would always be on the night stand in the morning.

Unser could scoot. Camillo (sp?) Pasqual serving up curveballs back then?

If the Braves don't make it I usually root NL unless my Rangers are in. Just hope to see some good pitching.

Shane obviously the more well-known but Kolten Wong will be someone to watch in the next few years.

Need to wipe away the 2004 Series.

nah, 2004 wiped away 1946 (no I wasn't born yet Jamie). This year we get to wipe away 1967.

From your lips to God's ears...

👍

Yes, you have a phenomenal memory, Frank. Del was a great defensive outfielder & consistent above par hitter. I came to the DC area at the the tale end of Camilo's fabled career and his second stint with Washington. Yes, he was good & was also complemented by ****** Bosman. Problem is, our neighbors 40 minutes away (Orioles) had McNally, Cuellar, and Palmer. 🤦

8, you're saying Lou Brock's free agency ruined baseball?
