Yeah -- some of them even look like Goliath.

Even though for the most part I don’t care who wins my sympathies lie with the team that hasn’t won the world series yet so that’s the Rangers. There are 6 teams in that select club (Padres, Brewers, Rays, Rockies, Rangers and the Mariners). Only the Mariners have never even been in the series so they may be the lowest of the low. Conversely because the Yanks have won it so many times more than anyone else there was until I stopped caring for the most part a perpetual hatred of them. Now I’m mostly indifferent.
Bruce Bochy would have won the SeriesThompson should be fired.
Very nice.
Thanks.
Or maybe how David slew Goliath.
It is to the clueless commies infesting the various branches of the media. They all suffer from Dunning-Kruger syndrome but believe themselves to be our sophisticated betters, and loaded to the gills with hubris.
Me too. Here is a great read on his character and relationship with players that explains SO much about his success with three different franchises...
Story went that Orioles manager Earl Weaver was asked by a player he had, “Coach, would you like to walk with the Lord with me?”
“Son, I’d rather you walk with the bases loaded.”
The film Bull Durham (which has Annie Savoy and the “Church of Baseball”) has the song The Ball Game by Sister Winona Carr. “Jesus is standing at the home plate and he’s waiting for you to come in/You know prayer is our strong bat, to deal with Satan’s ball...”.
Nat King Cole had “The First Ball Game”
Right after the D-backs won the pennant the TV showed a player crouching/kneeling down, presumably in prayer of thanks
The Yankees have lost more World Series than any other team has won.
Oh yes quite aware of that. They were ridiculously dominant. As the old saying went rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for US Steel. Back when US Steel was almost a monopoly.
Just for fun, what team has the second most World Championships?
Cardinals, although the number gap is huge.
Yanks 27
Cards 11
A’s combined and Red Sox are tied for third at 9
Hi.
I read the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) every day.
So what, crucify me.
I should be so blessed.

Yes, the Cardinals, the only team besides the Yankees that’s in double figures.
Yankees 27
Cardinals 11
Correct.
The Yankees have also lost 13 World Series.
The World Series opened tonight in Globe Life Park in Texas, site of the pandemic year 2020 World Series. Can you name the other three single-site World Series?
