The video above contains the audio for Game 1 of the 1988 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland A’s. Jack Buck is calling the game, and if you pick up the sound at the 2:44 mark, you’ll hear Buck’s legendary call of Kirk Gibson’s shocking home run.

Here’s a great ESPN documentary about that game:

The Boston Red Sox dominated the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series 4-1, but the ratings were pretty bad as detailed in this article. For many this is a surprise given the matchup of two iconic franchiese from large markets. This will be a hot topic for debate, but the late start for the games has to be addressed.

The New York Yankees had a great opportunity last night to steal Game 2 from the Cleveland Indians in the ALDS after roughing up potential Cy Young award winner Cory Kluber, but then Joe Girardi made some questionable decisions and the Yankees blew an 8-3 lead in an instant classic.

Needless to say, Yankee fans are fuming and the New York media is piling on:

This is hilarious. White Sox fan Frank Kaminsky trolls the Chicago Cubs and their fans by wearing a Steve Bartman jersey as he comes into his game tonight. Haha!!

There’s nothing like a grand slam home run to take the lead in the eighth inning during the playoffs. The Chicago Cubs are the favorites in the NLCS against the Dodgers, and scenes like this from their crazy fans make you think this just might be the year when the curse if broken.
