I was torn too.
I showed my wife the ESPN Movie “Catching Hell” about the Bartman incident, and realized The Curse of the Billy Goat and that incident were so ingrained in baseball lore that I was conflicted to see them end if Cubs won.
On the other hand, there wasn’t a loser baseball fan in this Series.......enough curses to go around for all, and one just had to be broken
One of the Best Ever
I watched the post game interview with Francona. Talk about a conflicted guy:
His team just lost after being up 3-1 in the series(karma is amazing, because he did the same to the Yankees when he was with Boston) and he could stop marveling over the baseball he just witnessed.
Rain delay? Team meeting? Two runs? Chapman coughs up three with one out to get?
I wished I’d have recorded it. It needs to be preserved and shown to future generations.
Zobrist? MVP again with a different team, same result? It’s too cheesy for Hollywood, and yet it happened. Apparently Lester’s catcher is leaving the team? He’s 39 I think. This is how he went out of MLB. Not bad.
