Overall, this series between two of the worst Mets franchises ever proved to be a pitching duel. Huh? The highlight was by far game 4, in which Bret Saberhagen came into the game to pitch three scoreless innings of relief and strike out four and pick up a win. In the bottom of the twelth, Todd Hundley hit a double and pinch hitter Daryl Boston followed with one of his own off pitcher Bob Moorhead leading the 92 MEts to victory and giving them a 3-1 game lead. In game five, Sid Fernandez pitched a complete game shutout and went 2-2 with two doubles and a sacrifice hit to beat out Roger Craig and the 62 Mets, proving the 92 Mets the better of two bad teams.

Game Seven: With the series tied 3-3, the 84 Grays took a 1-0 lead into the top of the ninth. However, Johnny Kling hit a solo home run to tie the game and forcing a bottom on the ninth. In the bottom half of the inning, Barney Gilligan hit a one out single. With the winning run aboard, Carl Bassett pinch ran and successfully stole second base. Arthur Irwin flew out to RF and pinch hitter Charlie Sweeney grounded to short. The Grays were forced to keep Sweeney in that game as a possible relief pitcher. In the bottom half of the eleventh, Jerry Denny started out the inning by reaching base on a Frank Chance error. Joe Start Walked and relief pitcher Orval Overall surrendered a hit to catcher Sandy Nava, an .095 hitter during the 1884 season, who was forced to catch after Gilligan was taken out of the game. Irwin struck out and right fielder Sweeney had the game-winning hit, making the 84 Grays vitorious in seven over the 06 Cubs.

Series MVP: Elston Howard (.471, 1 HR)
An interesting matchup between two solid Yankees franchises proved to be a close series, with the offense of the 61 Yanks edging out the pitching of the 21 Yankees. The only game that could be considered a “blowout” was a 5-1 victory of the 61 Yankees in game two, tying the series up at 1-1. In game five, the 21 Yankees blew a 5-0 lead and ending up losing the game 6-5 and the series 4-1. In the end, the 21 Yankees lacked the offense and the depth of the 61 Yankees.
1927 Yankees (110-44) vs. 1998 Yankees (114-48)
27 Yankees defeat 98 Yankees 4-1
| Game 1
27 Yanks 4 W – Hoyt (1-0) |
Game 2
27 Yanks 5 W – Pennock (1-0) |
Game 3
98 Yanks 4 W – Wells (1-0) |
Game 4
98 Yanks 2 W – Moore (1-0) |
Game 5
98 Yanks 1 W – Pennock (2-0) |
Series MVP: Earle Combs (.409, 9-22)
This was somewhat of a disappointing series. The 1998 Yankees showed that their pitching alone could not win a series if their offense wasn’t producing. Staff ace Andy Pettitte didn’t produce in 2 starts, posting an 0-2 record and a 6.23 ERA. Three players tied for the highest batting average on the 1998 Yankees: Chuck Knoblaugh, Derek Jeter and Jorge Posasa, all posting a .210 average. The 1927 Yankees found offensive gems in Earle Combs (.409) and Lou Gehrig (.363). Herb Pennock proved to be unbeatable tossing two complete games and posting a 0.50 ERA. If this series proves anything it is that the 1998 don’t hold a candle to the 1927 Yankees, possibly the greatest team ever, even with their 114 wins.
