TheBostonStrangler 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 The World Series was cancelled in 1994, due to the strike. It also wasn't played in 1904, due to the manager of the NL team (I think it was John McGraw and the Giants) not wanting to play after the regular season had ended.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Nope. Besides 1994, the only other cancellation of the series was in 1904, when the NL champion New York Giants refused to play the AL champion Boston Pilgrims. This was back when the AL was still considered an inferior league by the more-established NL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Problem is...It will HAVE to go 7 games...but could you imagine if it's a sweep or an apathetic 5 game series... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Why does it have to go seven games? Â After that Oakland series, I'm really hoping for a sweep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Because we need to squeeze every once of fear and desperation out of these two teams... Â It's appros that they go seven anyways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 What does everyone think of having Boone and Leiter do the games? I for one like the idea. Nice to get a current players prespective. Â Also will they do this during the World Series? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 I thought both were good, Leiter particularly so. The only problem is they don't get to talk nearly enough due to the verbal diarrhea styles of the rest of the fox announcers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Leiter was better than Boone. Â I barely heard anything out of Boone. Maybe I wasn't watching at the right times, but he should assert himself and throw McCarver out of the press box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 That was hilarious when they were ripping that Yankee fan for lying about the homerun/foul ball incident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Well, if McCarver and Buck weren't Pro-Yankees enough, it's nice to see that they got an impartial voice who, you know, isnn't related to any of the Yankees or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Bullshit if Joe Buck is for the Yankees. He was giddy in saying how much trouble the Yankees where in during the 9th inning. This coming from the same guy, who acted like New York was the Tigers after they lost the first game to the Twins last week. Â No media member outside New York, will ever pull for the Yankees. They hate Steinbrenner too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Well, if McCarver and Buck weren't Pro-Yankees enough, it's nice to see that they got an impartial voice who, you know, isnn't related to any of the Yankees or anything. Is that in reference to Bret Boone, brother of Yankees' third baseman Aaron Boone? I know what you're trying to say, but it's still funny, since them being brothers pretty much means that Bret has some relation to the Yanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
