Okay, bear in mind it doesn't matter how good the rest of the Series was, but here goes:
10) Game 7, 1962 World Series
Uh oh, it's Ralph Terry again, and again it's game 7. And again it's bottom of the ninth. 1-0 Yankees. Alou singles for O'Dell. Terry bears down and K's the next two batters before Mays doubles to right. Maris makes a great throw to Richardson, who grabs it, turns, and fires a strike to Howard. McCovey, who hit a booming triple earlier is up. Foul ball to right. Then a scorching line drive...
9) Game 1, 1988 World Series
Canseco's grandslam erases a 2-0 Dodgers' lead. By the 9th the Dodgers are one run better but down still, 4-3. 2 outs. But Davis walks against Eckersley, and look whose coming to the plate. GIBBY! Foul ball, foul ball, foul ball, ball, ball, ball. Another 3-2, Gibby swings...
8) Game 7, 1991 World Series
Again, I'm still mad at the Twins for beating the Jays in the 1991 ALCS, so that's why it's so low. In any event, 0-0 bottom of the 10th, bases loaded, pinch hitter Gene Larkin faces Alejandro Pena. First pitch...
7) Game 6, 1993 World Series
Jays up 5-1, but Dykstra brings the Phillies back from the brink with a 3 run dinger in the 7th. The Philadelphia add two more, and survive a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 8th. But in the ninth, Henderson walked, Molitor singles. Now the 2-2 to Carter...
6) Game 6, 1986 World Series
5-3, Boston, two outs in the bottom of the frame. Scoreboard reads, Congratulations, Boston Red Sox, 1986 World Series Champions. But then Carter and Mitchell single, Knight gets a fluke hit, wild pitch, 5-5. Then Wilson sends a little roller up along first...
5) Game 3, 1992 World Series
White robs Justice of at at least two bases, then the Jays almost get a triple play. Carter homerun, 1-0. Braves come back with single runs in 6th and 8th. Gruber breaks out of the longest postseason slump ever with a longball. Double play gets they Jays out of trouble in the ninth. Bottom of the frame, Alomar single, Carter walk, Winfield bunt, Sprague walk. Reardon comes in...Maldonado loops it over Nixon's head in center!
4) Game 7, 1960 World Series
4-0 Pirates, then the Yankees come back, tie it, go up by three. Then Virdon's grounder hits a pebble, Smith homerun, Pirates up by 2. Mantle with a head fake in the top of the 9th and the game is tied, 9-9, Skowron grounds out, Groat to Mazeroski to end the inning. Maz has no idea what he holds in his hands!
3) Game 1, 1954 World Series
Wertz sends Mays back, back, back...
2) Game 5, 1956 World Series
Larsen is 81-91 lifetime, didn't last two innings in game 2 and is now pitted against Maglie, who tossed a no-no earlier this year. Maglie is pitching a gem, too, until Mantle gets one just fair. Mantle takes one away from Hodges, Carey nails Robinson by a step, Amoros hits one just foul. Finally, Dale Mitchell is up in the ninth with two down, and...STRIKE THREE!
1) Game 6, 1975 World Series
First Boston's up three, then Cincinnati is up three. 8th inning, Carbo smacks a dramatic three run homerun. Extra innings sees Foster guns out Doyle at home, Evans robs Morgan. Finally, in the bottom of the twelfth, up steps Carlton Fisk...
