A very good world series all in all. I know a lot of the country was all for the Yankees because of 9-11 and I have to credit them for their heart. That being said, I'm still glad the bastards lost (let someone else win for a change). Yay Curt Schilling!
i guess i've been a d-back fan all my life.

Just for you, TSN
Trailing 5-1 in Game 6, the Phillies broke through with five runs in the seventh, the outburst highlighted by Dykstra's three-run homer, his fourth round-tripper of the Series. That 6-5 lead would not be enough. With one out in the bottom of the ninth, the Blue Jays got two men on base, bringing Joe Carter up to face Mitch Williams. Carter blasted a 2-2 pitch over the left-field fence, and the Blue Jays were World Series Champions for the second year in a row. Carter's homer marked only the second time in 531 Series games that a contest was ended by a come-from-behind homer.
Damn Jays have never been the same since.

Hm... I didn't even know Philidelphia had been in the World Series. At all, much less recently. Though I do remember that Toronto was in it when I was in sixth grade. Which would have been... 1992.

Or, as the British call it, "the other game with balls and a bat that the Americans love to play and call themselves 'world champions' when they're the only ones who play it..."

Although as a Brit, and knowing next to nothing about the game, I'd still say that it's about a million times better than American Football.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well Baseball is one of those sports that can either be extremely exciting, OR
more boring than watching paint dry. Just depends on the situation. I don't think i've ever watched an entire game straight through, though i came close in '93
