Ranking the World Series since last time Dodgers and Yanks met…

This is merely my attempt. Flame away.

1. 2016-Chicago d Cleveland - this one still hurts, but an extra inning Game 7 with a rain delay that halted Indians momentum and ending a curse is tough to top. The Rajai Davis homer is still one of the most epic in WS history, and it came in a loss.

2. 1986: Mets d Red Sox - we all know this story and the incredible Game 6

3. 2001: DBacks d Yankees - Arizona rode the arms of the series MVPs and overcame a clutch Soriano homer to beat the best closer in baseball history.

4. 1991: Twins d Braves - the matchup wasn’t sexy, but between Puckett’s heroics and the pitching duel in Game 7, this is an all timer.

5. Florida d Cleveland - another one that hurts. Cleveland is the only team to lose two extra inning Game 7s.

6. 2017: Houston d Los Angeles - the only thing keeping this one lower for me is the negative pub and a dud Game 7.

7. 2011: St. Louis d Texas - one strike away

8. 2019: Washington d Houston - a wild series with road teams winning each game. Howie Kendrick’s Game 7 homer seems forgotten.

9. 2002: Anaheim d San Francisco - this seems like a forgotten classic in the modern era. The Giants blew Game 6 and the Rally Monkey lived on.

10. 1985: Kansas City d St. Louis - the rare Missouri showdown…this one peaked in Game 6.

11. 2014: San Francisco d Kansas City - Royals were 90 feet away from forcing extras in Game 7. Next year was the ultimate tale of redemption.

12. 1982: St. Louis d Milwaukee - Suds Series

13. 1987: Minnesota d St. Louis - doesn’t seem to have that “moment” that any other ones listed have

14. 1993: Toronto d Philadelphia - the only 6 gamer that competes IMO
