ESPN Stat: The World Series Edition

by Daniel Roos on Oct.24, 2011, under Sports

I’m watching Game 5 of the World Series, and Joe Buck just unleashed an amazing ESPN stat (and on Fox no less!): David Murphy: 1ST PLAYER TO ATTEND BAYLOR UNIVERSITY & START WORLD SERIES GAME SINCE 1923. The last being the Giants’ Mule Watson. Mule was best known for trying to smuggle drugs into an Isaac Asimov novel.

As the World Series has come down to the Cardinals & the Rangers, I am forced to admit that my prediction that the Cubs would win in 2011 was incorrect. I have re-checked my match, and I had made a mistake. It’s 2012! Yes, the Cubs will win in 2012. Bank on it.

I cannot think how crazy those games were. I was sure the Texas Rangers had been going to win that. And I will admit I kind of wanted them to but I still feel the story of St Louis how they overcame advesity is actually neat.
