Best World Series you ever watched?

[ragecage]

I have to say the Twins and Braves from 1991, it turned me from a kid that did nothing but read the back of baseball cards, to actually enjoying watching the game.

[filihok]

Ditto...that was an amazing series

[TheNamelessPoet]

Now being a relativly well kown yankee hater who doesnt REALLY remember 91... (an it has nothing to do with the yanks... 2001 to be was great... I liked 2002 with the angels came back to win it .

I did like '08 WS too tho I was REALLY pullin for Tampa. Other than that I have not enjoyed the series in a while. The Sox Yanks series in 03 and 04 to be were just amazing... especialy the Sox with the comeback.
I mean come on... if if you are a Yanks fan... that was an unbelievable series to see the self proclaimed "Iddiots" come back against the best closer in my lifetime (so far) and probalby one of the best reliever in post season history. I forget who used to come to the mound with "lights out" playing or on the board ow whatever but I have ALWAYS felt when Mo came out onto the field... the game was over.

1998, 1999, and 2000 are the best I've seen

[TheNamelessPoet]

ug... 98... it was so boring tho... a sweep... no dramatics same with I believe 99.

I wasnt into the whole mets yanks on 2000... the mets didnt belong i thought

[reflections]

1988 Dodgers. Kirk Gibson.
1989 A's. Earthquake. Dave Stewart. Rickey Henderson.

[koolzach1]

Actually... I'd have to say the 1977 WS is the best one that I've seen (didn't watch it live, of course).

[filihok]

1988 Dodgers. Kirk Gibson.
1989 A's. Earthquake. Dave Stewart. Rickey Henderson.

Great result. Pretty boring series though. The A's didn't even compete against the Mighty Dodgers that year.

I guess when their best player got taken out of the yard by a one-legged man they knew they had met their match.

You're joking, right? WS sweeps and 5 game series are in no way a good WS just because your team won. As a Red Sox fan, I would never suggest that 2004 or 2007 was a great WS just because Boston won. Thats absurd.

1977 was not a good WS either. Six game series with only one 1 run game. Give me a break.

In the past 20 years the best WS was clearly the 1991 Twins-Braves matchup. Games 6 and 7 were absolutely riveting.

My choice would be the 1975 WS between Boston and Cincinnati. My team lost, of course, but I still watch the highlights occassionally, and have 3 of the games on cassette. The '75 WS is generally regarded as one of the best, if not the greatest World Series ever played.

Best WS I ever saw was the Yankees vs. Diamondbacks in 2001.

[DarthJaker]

the 2006 or 2001 WS the 2003 WS in a close 2nd

[dickay]

1987 Cards vs. Twins I thought was great. i was only 9 at the time and this was really the first WS I remember near vividly.

1993 Phils vs. Blue Jays. Joe Carter, enough said. The greatest moment in baseball history IMHO.

[eggson27]

Definitely 2001 Diamondbacks vs. Yankees. Great Series.
Also, 2002 was great. I love 7-game series. There hasn't been one since the Angels (yes!) beat the Giants

[RedsoxRockies]

Either the 2001 Series or the 2004 one, though I have to say the ALCS that year was more exciting

[ragecage]

1993 Phils vs. Blue Jays. Joe Carter, enough said. The greatest moment in baseball history IMHO.

His homer wasnt that dramatic, they had runners on first and second with no outs down by one run. It seemed likely if anything they would tie.
