WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 What's everyone's favorite World Series? For ones that I have personally seen (95-present), i'll go with 2001. But IMO the best one ever was 1991. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 23, 2007 -> 06:53 PM) 2005. From a BASEBALL fan's standpoint, not a Sox fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Twins-Braves was magic. Jack Morris was just unreal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Outside of 2005, I'd say 1993 with Joe Carter's series-ending walkoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daa84 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) its my opinion that typically when we look back at things we get so caught up in trying not to overlook past events that recent events/records/players etc. become underrated......having said that from the standpoint of the series as a whole was there anything better than 01??? brosius jeter tino taking Kim deep, the heroics of schilling and johnson, the walkoff from gonzalez on rivera (possibly the greatest october/ november pitcher ever)....not to mention baseball and the countrys triumphs after sept. 11.....mccain and guliani side by side wearing NYPD/NYFD hats...good stuff and in terms of the games...unbelievably exciting basbeall Edited October 24, 2007 by daa84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The '97 Series was quite something too. Game 7 being tied in the ninth of a pitchers duel and ending on a walkoff in extras. i believe its the only Game 7 to ever go extras. It may not compare to 2001, but as a whole that series had a lot going on as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 1975 was a great one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANS Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 2005..of course 2001 because i was at game 5 and Yankee stadium was shaking. 1986 Mets comeback on Bahston.....priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an outstanding series with a nail bitting game 7. Best series I've seen in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 The A's/Dodgers series in '88 was very memorable for me. I really hated the A's and they were heavy favorites if I recall correctly. The Gibson HR is one of the most memorable sports moments of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 2005, thats my sox fan's perspective haha. honestly, the tribe/marlins series was fantastic, as was the yankees/braves series when the yanks were the underdogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 In my lifetime...I only really remember the Loma Prieta series on...I'll give you 1991 ("and we'll see you tomorrow night!") and 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, for an old guy like me though, it was 1961. Mantle and Maris (Mantle was hurt and Maris didn't do much), Berra, Skowron, Richardson and Kubek, Whitey Ford, Elston Howard, Clete Boyer. Jeez, I hated the Yankees, but what a team. And the Reds with Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson, Gene Freese, Jim O'Toole, Joey Jay were formidable. Whitey Ford was amazing in that series: 2 games, 2 wins, 0.00 E.R.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyw Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Besides 2005, the best one I ever saw was 1991, which was ranked #1 in a poll of best WS by ESPN. Five games decided by one run. Four games decided in the final at bat. Three extra inning games. At 69 innings, its also the longest series ever.

The Critic Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Aside from 2005, I'll go with 1970, the Brooks Robinson series. I love this quote from Sparky Anderson after the 70 Series (from Wiki): "I'm beginning to see Brooks in my sleep. If I dropped this paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first."
