I lived the first five years of my life in lovely Cleveland.

HOW COULD THE INDIANS LOSE IN 1954 -- they were 111-43 with four hall of fame pitchers. It shows what can happen in a short series.

I still get a kick out of the story about how, in Game 1, the Giants brought in Don Liddle to face Vic Wertz who hit the ball over 450 feet culminating in the famous Willie Mays catch and Liddle returned to the dugout and said, "Well, I got my man."

Still considered one of the biggest upsets in World Series history.
