I grew up when expansion was new and you built your teams by the farm system. (KC.). the new concept of big money over a building farm system was a difficult to accept.<br /><br />I have to admit that the 7th game of the 2001 WS was the most exciting 7th game since the 7th game of the 1960 series.<br /><br />In my youth the Orioles were considered a bad team. In the early 60's I could see the Orioles improving to a respectable and good team. That they were in the 1966 world series was no surprise. That they beat the powerful Dodgers in 4 games was a huge surprise. I was in college that year and my roommate was an Orioles fan.<br /><br />As stated before I thought the Tigers had a better team in 1987 than the twins. That Twins team definitely overachieved.<br /><br />On the trivia questions, for the first part I am going with Frank Viola.<br />For the second part I'm guessing Juan Uribe.<br /><br />TJDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
