With both teams top starters not being ready to go for game 1, why not
let Lonborg and Gibson pitch that game.
The scary thing is, I bet Gibson could still strikeout 10 batters and
hit 3 or 4 if he did start tomorrow night.
Nothing for you...because you are a self-proclaimed Sox hater this year.
You actively cheered against them in the last series.
So you should be worried about what your beloved Yanks are going to be doing
this offseason.

Remember 1918...
I don't know if Dr. Lonborg could put in much pitching, but the team
could certainly retain him for any emergency dental work that comes up
during the series.

Might as well get revenge for the '46 Cards, too...

Wait, Tim McCarver actually played baseball in his life? I never
would have known that, after listening to him talk...

Curly C, the man without a news group. ;^)
Talk about bad timing. The only time I ever switched team allegiances
is when teams moved away. Curly C may be a fan of the sport, but
cannot at this time be considered the loyal fan of any team. Perhaps
he should find some generic news group about Major League Baseball to
participate in for the time being. I suggest " alt.sport.baseball "
Lonborg would actually be a great choice for throwing out the first
pitch at Fenway. Maybe Pesky for the second game. Let them participate
in a World Series victory.

I haven't looked it up, but I believe a head injury ended his career.
Given the fact that it's the Cards and Sox, I think we will see a whole
littany of players from 1967... Although I was hoping we'd see Pudge Fisk
for game 6...
Wasn't Joe Buck's dad the Cardinals radio announcer back then?
Bernie Carbo, Pudge Fisk, Yaz, Lonborg, Tiant,
even Spaceman Bill Lee would be perfect. Jim
Rice, Fred Lynn, you name em, bring em back.
If you can only pick 2 then go for Fisk and Yaz.
Lest anyone forget, McCarver also played for the '74 & '75 Red Sox but they
ditched him before getting to the World Series.

Please ignore the idiocy of forgetting Pesky.
