World Series question

["Roger"]

Has there ever been a World Series where the home team lost every game? It would have to be a seven game series for that to happen. Seems unlikely. Could add an additional interest factor to tonight's game.

Per the commentary during last night's game, NO. This is the first time it has gone to the first 6 games. Prior to this it had gone to the first 5 games 3 times in the 114 year history of the World Series.

Wonder if anyone made just such a wager....would be a large payoff I would think.

I am cheering for the Washington Nationals to win it in game seven (7)...

Just to offset you . . . I am cheering for the Houston Astros to win it in game seven (7)..

Wanna make a guess which way I'm leaning?

Nor in Hockey or basketball either.

The team that scores the must runs, will win game seven (7) IMHO. LOL

I don't have a dog in the fight, so I'm just hoping for a good, well-played game. Oh listen, you can hear the Fat Lady warming up!

I'd love to see them win, too!

BTW, I spend a lot of time in DC, and was quite confused the first time I heard people yelling, "Gonads!" (At least that's they way *I* heard it.)

I don't follow baseball any more. But the Astros have a home boy, Alex Bregman on the team, so there is strong sentiment here for them to win.

.... and his grandfather died today.

But Rendon is also a houston native, just playing for the wrong team. LOL

How sad.

Should have been a bit more specific. Bregman is a home boy from New Mexico.

Looks like we have a ball game NOW!

Congrats to the Washengton Nationals on their 6-2 win over the Houston Astros and winning the World Series. 'Bout time!

I'm happy the Nationals won. My first baseball game was when my grandfather took me to see the Washington Senators play in 1959. Two years later they became the Minnesota Twins. This past summer I took my grandson to see the Nationals play the Twins for his first game. He doesn't know it yet, but he got to see the World Champions beat the Twins.

 

[pedro47]

Congratulations to the Washington Nationals, the team with the most runs will win the game. IMHO;
and that team will beat an outstanding baseball team from Texas. I am cheering for the new World Series Champions in baseball , the team that love to come from behind team, The Washington Nationals.

 

[pedro47]

How could I forget this, Houston let an old man in baseball beat them Howie Kendrick at age 36, with a homer late, late in the game. He should win the Baseball comeback senior citizen award for this season. LOL.

Also, great pitching wins games. How about that Washington Nationals pitching staff and their management counting their pitchers stats every game this season.

This is the very first time in the World Series history that the home team has lost every game.

Looks like Bergman’s granddad was GC of the Senators, the second version which became the Astros.

Would have preferred if it was the expos that won.

This is the first time I have watched the entire World Series, and was rooting for the Nats. What totally impresses me is how commentators come up with stats for so many unique situations. I should have written them down. One sort of was, "This is only the fourth time a batter has hit a homerun from behind in the X inning, and put the team out front. The other three players were...."
How do they find the information so fast? Where is it stored? How would it even be categorized?
And yes, I loved when Howie Kendrick hit that home run at age 36. Looking at so many players, I would think, they are just babies. They could still be on a high school team.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for clarifying.
