Game #5 –World Series
- 89’ Oakland Athletics vs 10’San Francisco Giants…
1989 Oakland
Athletics (MNGR: T.LaRussa, 99-63, AL West CHMPS, Def SF Giants 4-0 in WS): in
what would be the last Worlds Series title that the Athletics would win under
Manager Tony Larussa. The Athletics came one win short of a 100 win season. But
with a starting pitching staff that was 4 AS deep the Athletics came into the
series strong with McGwire and Canseco on streaks the Athletics new that as
long as they could stay healthy this
series was a wrap. Now when you include the earthquake that allowed the Ahtletics
to start their #1 (Stewart) and #2 (Moore) in back to back sets (1&2 then
3&4). The bats stayed hot and the pitchers did too as the Athletics got a
sweep over their cross bay rivals as they won their 9th title in the
Bay Area…
Game #5 –World Series
- 89’ Oakland Athletics vs 10’San Francisco Giants…
2010 San Francisco
Giants (MNGR: B.Bochy, 92-70, NL West CHMPS, Def Texas Rangers 4-1 in WS): In
a season that saw the San Diego Padres lead the NL West for most of the season.
Then have one of the largest collapses in MLB history. Up over the Giants by 10
games with about 25 to go the Padres proceeded to lose 10 straight games and
allow the Giants to catch up and surpass them. The Giants made the most of
their playoff appearance as they met with the Rangers and ended up dominating
the Rangers unlike most experts had predicted. This Giants team was something
special and brought the 1st title to the San Fran Bay Area in over
54 years. Amazing to watch and a pleasure to get behind….
Synopsis: 89’
Athletics 4, 10’ Giants 3: Unfortunately the 2010 Giants would be able to
get it done in Oakland for Game 7 as the bats of Canseco, McGwire and Henderson
would be too much for the Giants young arms and Stewart, Moore and Welch would
just be too much and Dennis Eckersley is just way too much of a shut down
closer during this point in his career . I believe the Giants would fight and
would make a series of it but at the end of the Series the Athletics would come
out victorious and Get another WS title under their belt…
