I don't know how you'd rate WS. We all have strong biases toward the ones our teams participated.

Of course, I will say the 1960 World Series. The Yankees were a juggernaut in the 50s and early 60s, in 1960 they scored the most runs in a WS ever, outscored the Pirates 55-27, but lost it on a home run in the bottom of the ninth (only one of two WS walk off home runs). My dad had a choice to go to game 6 or 7. He chose game 6 because there may not have been a game 7. The Pirates lost that game 12-0.

That's why I didn't put 75 on top. Bias. I would have chosen the 90 sweep against the mighty A's. The Bash Brothers were supposed to come in here and kick the Reds ass all over town.

Plus. I covered the Reds back then so I was there every day. Wire to wire.

MLB Network did a retrospective/documentary on that '90 team a while back. It was pretty good.

That was a fun team. I'll have to look that up.

[DooKSucks]

Sounds like a cool dude. Your dad. Not you.

Ha. He was. He was far from perfect and could be a cruel tyrant at times when I was a kid, but he apologized for that and we got beyond that. I would give just about anything other than my wife and daughter to have him back and healthy, but if he had to live like he did at the end, I'm glad he is not here and suffering.

Watching you grow up was enough suffering.

I wasn’t always the most cooperative or well behaved son...so, there’s some truth to that too. Ha

The 1990 Reds team was also excellent. But they swept the As the way the Red Sox swept the Cardinals in 2004. So not a good World Series.

I think in order for the World Series to be the best World Series, it MUST go 7 games and it must have lots of huge emotional swings (back and forth.) In that sense 1975 qualifies as does the 1960 World Series. I am not talking the best teams, just the best series.

Was I posting to you? Did I ask your opinion?

[innocentbystander]

Nope.

Just know rat, that whenever I post here, my comments are fair game for everyone. Anyone can respond. Those are the rules.

[Jungle Rat]

There are no rules in here you dumbass

[innocentbystander]

Watching it now. Ah yes. The Nasty Boys. They were awesome. Great stories. Dibble was my favorite but Meyers was the crazy one.

Catcher Johnny Bench close second Ernie Lombardi, 1B Tony Perez, Big Klu and Joey Votto close seconds, 2B Joe Morgan, SS I'm going with Concepcion Larkin close second, 3B Pete Rose, LF George Foster, CF Eric Davis Griffey was better but not as a Red. RF Frank Robinson no one else even close. RHP starter Jim Maloney Honorable mention Bucky Walters, and Tom Seaver, LHP starter Eppa Rixey ( I know his grandson) Honorable mention Jim O'Toole. RH relief Rob Dibble LH relief John Franco honorable mention to Alrodis Chapman and Randy Myers.

We've kinda watched DS grow up in here. I remember when he first showed up as a UNC undergrad, he hit the ground running. And then law school, marriage, kid. Brings a tear to my eye. aTm too, I still think of him as being in his early 20's and watching anime porn. That brings a tear to my eye, too...

[Jungle Rat]

My fist is gonna bring a tear to your eye if you don't shut up.
