Classic Baseball Games
#5
People always talk about game 6 in '75, but that whole damn series was tight.

Game 2...Reds down by 1 with two out in 9th.  Score twice to win.

Game 3..Sox down by 2 in 9th.  Score twice to tie game.  Reds win in 10.

Game 4...Reds down by 1 in ninth get tying and winning runs on base with just one out.  Sox hold on to win.

Game 6...Sox down by 3 with 2 out in 8th.  Carbo hits 3 run homer to tie.  Bottom of 9th George Foster throws out game winning run at home plate.  In both 10th and 12th innings Reds get go ahead run to second base but can't score. Fisk hits iconic game winning HR in 12th.

Game 7...Reds come from behind to tie the game with 2 outs in 7th inning.  Reds win with 2 out in ninth.  Reds scored all 4 of their runs in the game with 2 out.

That is arguably the most exciting World Series in history.

I was 12 years old and loving it.  Game 6 was on a school night and I got to stay up past midnight watching TV.  It was just incredible.
