Hey, there's a potential benefit. I can't see how you play those games with current rules re: DH. So many COVID-19 claims the DH for good, too...

If you’re bored, Game 1 of the 1980 ALCS is being shown on the Royals Facebook page. Looks like it’s the ABC video feed with the Royals’ TV audio — Al Wisk and Denny Trease.

ESPN released their Top 118 World Series’ ever with these metrics:

Quote:
1. Game leverage index, at Baseball-Reference, which measures how close the game is on each play and how likely the next play is to shift each team's chances of winning. A game that's close for nine innings and won by a walk-off in the 10th will rate much better than one in which a team jumps ahead early and runs away with it.

2. Championship leverage index, at The Baseball Gauge. It's similar to game leverage, except it includes how close the series itself is. A seven-game series will rate much better than a sweep.

ADVERTISEMENT

3. How memorable the series was. The 1988 World Series wasn't particularly close, but it produces instant recall for one inning alone.

4. How historically significant it was, and how satisfying that history is.

We'll list each World Series' rank in the first two categories. The latter two are subjective, so we'll just describe them as best we can.
The Royals ended up with the #83, #30, #29 and #16 World Series matchups. Which series went where?

While I think this kind of list is a near-impossible task, I'm fairly surprised the Royals ended up mostly in the middle to top. I'm not a fan of the '85 series being ranked so low, but whatever. But the BoSox vs. Reds series at number one is pretty hard to argue. Two of the all-time power-house teams locked up, plus an entertaining series.

Without looking,

#83 - 1980 vs Philly
#30 - 2015 vs New York Mets
#29 - 2014 vs San Fran
#16 - 1985 vs the Cards

Nope. Switch 83 and 16. Royals-Phillies was a big one. Best two teams in baseball. Two of the top 5 3rd basemen of all time.

This was my original guess, too. Makes sense. I was born in 92' and my mom (the diehard Royals fan who got me into the team) talked waaay more about the 85' series than the 80 series. In 1980, she was listening in on a radio in Alaska.

It's also still tied with the 1978 World Series (Yankees-Dodgers) for the highest overall television ratings for a WS.

Yup. Big time series!

Game 6 is still the most watched World Series game of all time. Game 5 comes in at tenth all time.

It was also the only world series in the last 100 years between two teams that had never won it before. Even though the Phillies had been around since the 1880s.

Great memories of 85 have been shit on by crybaby Card fans and media turds. Thank God we one another one.

I'm just glad this year we haven't been mathematically eliminated by Mother's Day!
