Anyone going to watch?

Only for the free taco, and even that's a stretch.

Yes. The Dodgers and Red Sox have been around forever, but have not met in a World Series since Babe Ruth played for the Red Sox.

 

I am actually a St. Louis Cardinal fan since the 1964 World Series.

I lived in Detroit as a kid when the Tigers beat the Cardinals in the 1968 World Series. Can't believe, after 50 years, I can still remember how everyone in our neighborhood, and the city, reacted and enjoyed the victory.

 

Moved back to Detroit in the 80's and Tigers won over the Padres in 1984. Wonder if they could win again if I moved back?

I remember when the World Series was played during the daytime. When I was in high school they put a tv set in the gym and during P.E. instead of doing some activity we could watch the game.

During the '68 World Series, Detroit Public Schools put TVs in the classrooms so we could watch it. Until you said this, I had forgotten all about that.

My maternal grandfather was a huge baseball fan, and also loved the Cardinals. He was a pharmacist at Thrifty drugs and would schedule part of his vacation around the World Series every October!

I was in Vietnam for the 1968 World Series (Detroit over St. Louis). In basic training for the 1967 World Series (St.Louis over Boston). But, I realized it was fine if I miss games.

I don't remember now if it were the World Series or not but in an episode of "M*A*S*H" there was some ballgame and I think there were bettings but it was time delayed and someone already knew the outcome.

I'll watch but only because baseball players are hot af.

Good point. Even better are soccer players. Problem with football players you can't actually see them; they can only be identified by name and number on the jerseys. Basketball players move too fast.

I’m a New Englander and Red Sox fan but won’t watch. Whenever I do they seem to lose.

 

By the way I remember when the series was played before we had to prep for Thanksgiving.

How many different SOX are there? There's Red Sox and White Sox? Are there any other sox?
