Taking the place of the former Pop Tarts Suck Toasted, sort of and in a limited way, with some posts about music, some Instagram photos, and some other crap few people will ever care about. Welcome to my world.

Special Ones

Baseball Note…

Might not be the first one to point this out, but it seems as if every 10-years the World Series is able to produce truly special and epic series. Every year ending in one..

2011: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Texas Rangers, 7 game series, walk-off homeruns, amazing fall baseball!

2001: Arizona Diamondbacks defeat NY Yankees, 7 game series, walk-off, series ending single off the greatest closer in history, not to mention that it followed the attacks of September 11th.

1991: Minnesota Twins defeat Atlanta Braves, 7 game series, Kriby Puckett’s walk-off home run in Game 6, the legend Jack Buck “See you tomorrow night”.

1981: LA Dodgers defeat NY Yankees, 6-game series but three games were decided by a single run and it did follow the players strike. Dodgers first championship since 1965.

1971: Pittsburgh Pirates defeat Baltimore Orioles, 7-game series, O’s needed extra innings to push a game 7, Pirates took game 7 in a pitchers duel 2-1.

1961: Yankees defeat Cincinnati Reds, 4-1. Okay not so special this time.

1951: Yankees defeat NY Giants, 7-game series, followed the “Shot Heard Round the World”, another tightly played Game 7

1941: Yankees defeat Brooklyn Dodges, 4-1. Not too special but only a few weeks later we were in World War II

1931: St. Louis Cardinals defeat Philadelphia A’s, 7 game series

1921: NY Giants defeat NY Yankees, 5-3, the last of the 9-game series, Babe Ruth gets suspended for the 1922 season because of barnstorming, and of course it was the first of the Yankees 40 World Series appearances

1911: Philadelphia A’s defeat NY Giants, 4-2, two extra inning games
