If this series is anything close to the 1968 Series, it's going to be a good one.

I still think that the 68 Series was the best ever, and not just because the Tigers won it.

Hello,

I don't remember the '68 series, but know that there are two fine teams heading into this one. Should be fun!

Glad to be here, MOgirl

I remember that 68 series, while stationed at Scott AFB, Ill. Still remember the gloating of a certain Airman from Detroit.

Go Cardinals!It's pay back time.

I was a young lad at the time and really into baseball. I collected baseball cards and my dad took us to a lot of White Sox games at old Comiskey. It was big deal when Denny McLain won 31 games in 1968.


The Year of the Tiger in 1968 was also the Year of Denny McLain. He's shown here winning his 30th game Sept. 14, 1968.

I agree RE 1968.

Look at all the Hall of Famers involved in that game. Just killer!

And, we got to witness the last 30-game winner EVER in the MLB.
