10 Greatest World Series games

[Honus Wagner Rules]

I post, you decide. Odd that Game 6 of the 2002 World Series is not on this list. The Angels were down 5-0 in the 7th and came back to win.

I think Game 7 of the 1991 series is always way over rated

sure an extra inning Game 7 but it was a scoreless bland game between two bland teams devoid of true (all time) stars played in a freaking dome won with a sac fly. Yawn.

Finally we agree about something.

I also look down upon this game because it's one of the reasons Jack Morris is so overrated to the extent that meny people think he'll be in the Hall Of Fame soon.

One could say the same about #1 on the list and that's why Mazeroski got elected.

yeah but in that case one would be wrong

And why Don Larsen could get 12.1% from #7 (although I think it should be Game 5, not 6).

It's part of it, and I know why Bill got elected otherwise, and I support the election.

The most memorable part of Game 7 was the inning of the Smith/Knoblauch play. But I would have to say that Game 6 was more memorable, wasn't it, with Puckett against the wall and his HR?

It may not have featured all-time stars, but it did feature 3-4 guys who have or will find themselves in Cooperstown - two of them who are not debatable.

I very good list from the OP and I basically agree. I will also agree that the 1991 game 6 rates very high.

I don't see how any game could top game 7 of the 1960 Series. It had EVERYTHING. Famous powerhouse team, scrappy underdog team, winner take all, action galore, some gritty pitching on both sides, lots of strategy, some questionable decisions, lead changes, many memorable plays BEFORE Maz' homer.

I was in 9th grade- our school put the last 3 innings of the game on the PA system- totally riveting.

Geez, what time did the game start? 12:00?
