1962
With the tying and winning runs in scoring position at Candlestick Park, Willie McCovey's hard line drive is snagged by second baseman Bobby Richardson for the final out of the World Series. The Yankees win Game 7, beating the Giants, 1-0, capturing the franchise's 20th World Championship.

What a series that would have been to watch (I was months away from being born). Chock full of future Hall of Famers and other greats.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this also the day of the '88 earthquake? Or is that the 17th? I only remember because it's so close to my b-day. I remember watching the intros with Al Michaels and the screen going crazy. The earthquack happened and the cameras started scanning the fields.

1969

The New York Mets defeat the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 in Shea Stadium in game 5 in front of 53,397 fans to complete one of the the most improbable World Series wins in baseball history.

Here's to the Amazins!
