Cardinals in 7. Dizzy pitches game 7. The World Series has a way of bringing the least expecting guy to the Stardom On Deck Circle.

 

I guess a safe prediction would be that the team that wins will score 34 runs during the series.

 

In 1934, the Cards scored 34 runs, winning the Series 4 games to 3.

 

In 1968, the Tigers scored 34 runs winning the Series 4 games to 3.

 

So now, this is the rubber match in the World Series rematch. What will happen that will always be remembered

from this Series.....?

Wouldn't it be creepy if this series was being played in 2002? Every 34 years these two teams get together for a Fall Classic and the winner scored 34 runs!

2006 World Series Game 1

tonyreyesia1.jpgjustinverlanderin8.jpg

Anthony Reyes (5-8, 5.06)
vs.
Justin Verlander (17-9, 3.63)

7:05pm FOX



  • This will mark the first time in MLB History that two rookie pitchers start Game 1 of a World Series
  • Anthony Reyes' 5 wins will set the new mark for fewest wins in a season by a World Series Game 1 starter -- eclipsing Howard Ehmke, who was 7-2 for the 1929 Philadelphia Athletics
  • Reyes will be the first pitcher since the Mets' Jon Matlack (14-16) in 1973 to start Game 1 of the World Series with a losing record

1968 was known as The Year of The Pitcher. They always say that and never mention the fact that the mound was higher than it is now.

 

McLain won 24 in '69 but only 3 in 1970 and never was effective after the '69 season. His off the field problems were too much for him to bare.

 

Ah, the good ol' days !! The '34 Series had 2 player-managers with Frankie Frisch and Mickey Cochrane.
