Is This The Best World Series Of All Time? If Not, What Is?

[Yo Tee]

So, I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this but, this World Series is AMAZING. Couldn't of asked for a better series (unless the Yankees were involved ). But is this the best World Series of all-time? If it isn't what is?

DISCUSS!!

This series has to finish first. 1991 and 2001 World Series were pretty freaking awesome.

So much for "Good Pitching beats Good Hitting"

Seems like that statement becomes less and less true every year

I don't know anything about the 2001 World Series......

91 was pretty good. If this goes to 7, I'd have to say this would have to be a candidate for the top spot for sure.

Dodgers fans are pissed Yurri is still playing

But this has to be one of the best WS of my lifetime

I think 2001 was a strike shortened season

I don't agree with Yuri being able to play at all. Had that been a white player making a racist gesture, all hell would've broken loose. But every WS I guess has it's drama or extra crap involved.

I don't think we should talk about the 2001 World Series.....

no. it's weird seeing a team (Yanks) play only 160 games though.

My thoughts exactly. Still two games to go, no way would I put this ahead of 91 or 01 yet. I wouldn't even put it ahead of last year yet.

If the Dodgers were to blow the Astros out the next two games (a distinct possibility since they may have to call in the reanimated corpse of JR Richard from the bullpen in G7 at this rate), this WS would never come up in this conversation again.

Yeah I don't either. I mean if the league was truly "offended" by this gesture and what it to not happen again with him or anyone else they should have made a swift decision decision. "We didn't want it to hurt the Astros"

1996 World Series was the best

Braves take a 2-0 lead at Yankee Stadium, in embarrassing fashion

2 days of talk about how the Yankees dont belong on the same field

3 wins in Atlanta, and 4 wins later

If the MLB took Yuri out of the series, they wouldn't be hurting the Astros, Yuri would be hurting the Astros. But not the league is saying, if you wanna be racist, do it during the World Series.

"We care about race and do not want to have this culture in our league"..... Oh....wait, it's during the world series... ehhh.. oh well."

Though I wonder IF Darvish didn't say what he said if MLB would have suspended him during the series, probably not but it might have helped his cause.

I disagree. It's just what's happening now.

I've always said that "pitching wins championships, except when it doesn't."

There're a lot of ways to skin that cat.

2011 was also a very good series. Cardinals/Rangers. I also loved the atmosphere and storylines of last year's World Series but the play wasn't as good as this year's. I'd have to say 91, then this year's (so far) then 2011. 93 is on my list too.

"Pitching wins championship, except when it doesn't"? Can't that be said about literally everything?

I loved the Cardinals/Rangers series, but there was a fair amount of sloppy play that made it exciting so some people discredit it for that.
