I'm confident for tomorrows game, but then again I thought Pettite/Burkett game 6 at the Stadium in 03 was a lock too, so who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 Here's something. The Rockies/D'backs NLCS will be only the third league championship series contested between two expansion clubs. The others were the 1982 ALCS (Angels/Brewers) and the 1986 NLCS (Mets/Astros). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The others were the 1982 ALCS (Angels/Brewers) and the 1986 NLCS (Mets/Astros). I actually was going to look that up. Is this the one with the youngest teams in terms of years in the league (Colorado's been in for something like 12 years and the D'Backs have only been around about 10, I think)?

Guest Report post Posted October 8, 2007 Everything post-1960 is expansion. To simplify for the mentally retarded. The AL teams were part of what I call, "the growth period." Then we had a period in which no new teams came about, then expansion. There's a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 17 years is a period? Then wouldn't it have been a "period" between the M's and Blue Jays and the Rockies/Marlins? If we want to get technical, every current team is an expansion team besides the Braves since the next current MLB team's first year was 1874 since anything added after the original teams at the start of the league would be considered expanding the league from a technical standpoint. I just happen to disagree with stating a team like say the M's or Jays who have been in the league for 30 years is an expansion team if and would be referred to as such if they played in the WS at this time.

I just happen to disagree with stating a team like say the M's or Jays who have been in the league for 30 years is an expansion team if and would be referred to as such if they played in the WS at this time. I did not intend for it to be an insult. The 1986 NLCS featured without question the greatest clinching game of all time. The 1982 ALCS was very good, decided by one run in the deciding game. I missed the 1985 ALCS, that again was a very good series. "Expansion" to me quite simply describes teams added after MLB elected to add more than the 16 original franchises that carried the leagues for sixty years. One way to change the definition is to say teams after the latest expansion cycle, which would include no such series. Oddly, there has never been a World Series between two expansion franchises.
