If you missed last night’s wild 7-6 Houston Astros victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in game two of the World Series, do yourself a favor and go back and watch it (from the eighth inning on). I feel sorry for any baseball fan that missed it.
In the wake of that awesome extra-innings post-season affair, it’s only fitting that we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the (Florida) Marlins’ extra-innings post-season affair. You know, the one that resulted in a World Series title.
Much as the Dodgers and Astros will probably continue trading wins, the 1997 World Series was a literal back and forth affair, with both teams trading wins leading up to that pivotal game seven show-down at Pro Player Stadium.
