Now that we have that European unpleasantness behind us we can relax for a few days and enjoy the Fall Classic. The New York Yankees ran away with the American League pennant and now know who their opponent will be. In those days the teams played their 154 games and the two clubs atop the standings at the end went to the World Series. No play-offs unless their was a dead heat. No mediocre teams vying for the last wild card spot.

Columbia must have been a big football power. They got a ton of coverage in the Times. And we must always cover the Fighting Irish.

Those Fighting Irish are the reason I don’t bet on sports.

Back in 94 I was in Vegas and notice a very entising sports line. Rutgers vs Notre Dame spread +63. Notre Dame was favored to win by 63 points!!

I couldn’t pass that up so I put 100 bucks on it, sat in the sportsbook and proceeded to go insane as every time the Irish touched the ball they scored, and quickly at that.

The final score was 62 to 0. They almost covered. I had won my 100 dollar bet, but was absolutely miserable and had a splitting headache from watching that bloody game.

That was the last sports bet I ever made.
