Yes! The finale of one of the greatest playoff pitching performances in history.

1. 1919 World Series. I'd spend the entire series yelling at Risberg, Gandil, Cicotte, Williams and Felsch about their treachery.

2. 1912 World Series. Wood, Matty, Speaker, 8 games. Best series of the dead ball era.

3. Shot heard round the world. Right before Thomson hits it, I'd shout to everyone around me, "Watch this!"

4. 1955 World Series. It would be fun to see the long-suffering Brooklyn fans delirious, knowing 2 years later their team would be gone forever.

5. 1941 All Star Game. The final inning, featuring Ted's monster game-winning home run, and his dancing around the bases, would be so classic to witness.

Neat idea for a thread, Thank You.

June 14, 1870: the Atlantics defeat the Red Stockings, ending Cincinnati's 81-game winning streak.

There are others, such as Ruth's "called shot" and the Merkle Boner" game. I suspect I'd meet a bunch of Net54 members there. Make sure to bring a t-shirt in the time machine, so we can all meet up afterwards.
