Say Hey Kid
it's better to burn out than to fade awa
I hate to be cliche, but I still think it's the 1975 Big Red Machine over the BoSox in 7.

Any of 72, 73, 74, and 89.
Always will love the Ray Fosse story of how he talked to Rangers base coach at the time Gary Pettis about that play. Pettis and Washington were yelling at him to stay back, yet he kept inching in from right as Craig hit.Might be biased, but 2011 was crazy.
A look at the other 3 years I chose will give some insight.1989 is among the worst World Series in history. What do you like about it?
72 series between Oakland and Cincinnati was also a very good series with the A's winning game 7 in Cincy.1975 is one of the best World Series.
Both teams went into the series on lengthy World Series droughts (Red Sox - 1918; Reds - 1940).
Game 1: Boston 6, Cincinnati 0 - Game was tied until the 7th when Boston put up 6 runs.
Game 2: Cincinnati 3, Boston 2 - Cincinnati scores 2 in the top of the 9th for the win.
Game 3: Cincinnati 6, Boston 5 (10) - Cincinnati blew a 5-3 lead in the 9th, only to win it in the 10th.
Game 4: Boston 5, Cincinnati 4 - 3rd straight one run game.
Game 5: Cincinnati 6, Boston 2 - Biggest win by the Reds in the series.
Game 6: Boston 7, Cincinnati 6 (12) - Boston rallied in the 8th, as they were down 6-3, Fisk hits game winning homer in 12th.
Game 7: Cincinnati 4, Boston 3 - Red Sox blow early 3-0 lead as the Curse of the Bambino continues, Reds win World Series for first time since 1940.
Interestingly enough, game 6 is the last time Cincinnati lost a World Series game, as they are 9-0 since that defeat (game 7 win, 4-0 in 76 against NYY, 4-0 in 90 against OAK).
'92 and '93 as a jays fan; 2016 as a baseball fan because the cubs finally won it all after 108 years
here are some other good recent ones:
1997
2001
2003
2011
2014
2015
2017
2019
essentially, the ones that go to 7 and the ones with crazy endings/storylines are the one that were great for me

I blame Wash for having him out there, but Cruz should have been listening. Can't let a ball get over.
