Out of all the unpredictable turns this series has taken, Game 6 may have taken the cake. After all, who could have predicted Lou Piniella losing Buddy Harrelson’s triple in the lights? A total meltdown by Goose Gossage? And the Mets offense exploding at just the right time? All that came into play during the […]
The Shea crowd thought Sunday night’s Game 4 was a classic until they saw Game 5. Thanks to four hits from Art Shamsky, and the ultimate “Houdini” act by Tug McGraw and Ron Taylor, the 69’ Mets are now one win away from taking the NY Baseball Digest “Sim World Series” The day started with […]

Jerry Koosman battled and got the win pitching nine gritty innings. Ed Figueroa, suffering from control problems, would take the […]
This series was thought to be one won on clutch hitting and starting pitching. If Game One is any indication of how the rest of the series will play out, we are in for a treat. Tom Seaver and Ron Guidry were pitted in this match up, but it was Guidry that looked more like […]
