The Cardinals and Twins will take their respective leagues this year. The Yankees will finish fourth in their division.

I sure hope you are right. Those are two of my favorite Baseball Teams. I also despise the Yankess.

Rational people despise the Yankees. (Aren’t there any Yankee fans out there to defend their team?)
 
40 pennants and 27 World Series wins later and it's safe to say...

The Yanks don't need defending.

Hating is envy and God don't like envy. :D

I was an eleven year-old boy when my Cardinals took on the Yankees in 1964 and beat them, 4 games to 3, thanks in part to my hero’s (Ken Boyer) grand-slam homerun in game 5, which allowed the Cardinals to overcome a 3-run deficit and win that game 4-3. Kenny also homered in game 7. Bob Gibson pitched games 2, 5 & 7, 27 innings pitched Oct 8, 12, and Oct 15. Tim McCarver had eleven hits.

LOL, that's ok. We're all different. I like most teams unless they are playing the Yanks. :lol

I was just seven. But I do remember 1968, when the Tigers beat the Cards. I believe that was the same year the Tiger's Denny McLain went 31-6.

Still a record I think. :chin
 
THE giants could do it again......

The Yankees used to buy wins.... Yogie jumping up and down on home plate :)

Ever read 'Ball Four' Not exactly a Christian book but sure a baseball one.

And Bob Gibson had a 1.12 ERA (in 305 innings). They lowered the pitcher's mound after that.

I read "Ball Four" many, many years ago.

If I remember correctly, at one point in that season, he had a .96 era!

Yes, I read Bounton's book back in the 70s. He took a lot of heat for writing that book. :yes
 
And Ted Williams, who was the last to hit .400, back in 1941. He came into the last day of the season batting .400 and was given a chance to sit out the doubleheader. He chose to play and went 6-8 and wound up batting .406.
