Arguably the best World Series I have ever witnessed!

That was awesome! So many things to be said about this whole World Series alone outside of the Game 7 of a lifetime. So many things to be said about history and story lines. Incredible game, freaking incredible. Everything about it was awesome. Hell even my little man wanted to watch it with me. Its like most of the world new to tune in to this game 7 anticipating some baseball magic to happen. It did and then some.

That is pretty awesome. I'm not a Cubs fan but The Cubs are like everyone else's number two team no matter who their primary team is. I grew up watching them on wgn on afternoons before they had night games. It was hard not to like them or Harry even being a die hard Braves fan (even through the shitty years) and I always felt bad for them when each year came to a close. The lovable losers. Glad they did it finally. All those people that have been attending those games and watching them for decades finally have seen one when they thought they wouldn't.

I was talking to a guy last night at practice about this. I'd be willing to bet that the guys at WGN back in the day really had no idea how they were effecting regions outside of Chicago. Like you said, growing up there was the Braves and there was the Cubs around here. The days of Grace, Dawson, Sandberg and so on. Now fast forward like 30 years and you have 6 million plus on the streets of Chicago today and millions more live streaming the Cubs parade.

Never liked the Cubs. Never disliked them.
I got on the Cubs wagon in 1984(?) when they had Sutcliffe, Leon Durham, Ron Cey, Larry Bowa, Eckersley, Lee Smith....
I loathed, hated, despised and abhorred Steve Garvey and his stupid forearms. So when the Cubs had them in the NLCS, I got on board. Watching Harry on WGN was fun. I was disgusted when they couldn't win one of three in San Diego.
This series was great. Lots of good games and a crazy finish in Game 7.
No series will EVER touch the 1992 World Series for me, though. As a Braves fan from way back, that season was crazy magic. I took my grandmother -- then in her mid 70s -- to the first Braves series she'd ever seen in person despite watching them religiously on TBS for years. Saw Glavine pitch. Was before the All Star break when the upstart Braves were flirting with first place. We thought it was fun but would fade. Little did we know.
I watched almost every game that season. The World Series was amazing. Three extra inning games. Only two games separated by more than a single run.
To this day I hate Hrbek. That guy is a piece of crap.
I hated Puckett, too. He's dead.
I'm still mad at Lonnie Smith.
I feel bad for Charlie Liebrandt, but he can go hump a goat too.
In that seventh game, Cox began his long history of blowing playoff games and series. I'll never understand why he walked Hrbek in the tenth. The guy hadn't hit for crap and was almost as slow as Sid Bream. You walked somebody to set up the double play, wasn't that enough? Let Hrbek ground into the stupid thing.
When Atlanta lost to the Twins in the seventh game in extra innings? I went to bed and stayed there for two days.
That was the greatest playoff series I've ever seen, though. It was exhausting.

Atlanta lost to the twins in 91, not 92.

Exactly, because 92' was the best Bama defense evah. No one, not even the Braves could have scored on them.

Except Sid Bream and his 4.3 speed.

Truth. I knew that.

Has he scored yet?

I only remember because I was in boot camp, and had to do pushups until my DI was tired of watching me do them because he was from MN.
