Yeah ... Tano's original post mentioned Clemente, Stargell and Sanguillen. That was 1971.Well sure in 71 I was 14. I thought you were talking about the 1979 Pirates/Orioles series when Pittsburgh was down 3-1 to Baltimore. My mistake!!!! But yeah, I'm old.
Nope - I was referring to the 1971 series with Brooks Robinson and Willie Stargell Manny Sanguien (SP) and Roberto Clemente
I was 9
I remember a throw Clemente made but I'm not sure if it was in the Series or NLCS. From the right field corner to home plate on the fly. Best throw I've ever seen.
I wish we were able to give two reactions because I laughed when I read that and wanted to give the cheers too!!!
What would we call that? Creative math? The last 50 years? What percentage of niner fans 12 years old or more, back then, are still alive today?
And the whiners haven't won one since free agency truly became a thing. It took a couple more years to really start affecting them. Basically, they lost Pierce Holt in the years leading up to their last SB win. BFD.
Yep. An original comment slagged the Rams for only 2 titles in 30 years, how that is less than the Niners five. Which it is...and then suddenly within minutes the goal-posts are moved and it's a 50-year timeline.
