Major League Baseball Playoffs Alds And Alcs

The MLB didn’t start until 1876 with the National league and then they brought in the American league in 1901. The first World Series was held in 1903 with the Boston Americans beating the Pittsburg pirates 5-3. Baseball hasn’t always been glorified as it was though. It experienced rough times in the 1940’s when African Americans weren’t allowed to play in the major league but thanks to Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby, they eliminated the racial discrimination in baseball and outside the baseball world. Baseball has also experienced rough times during the WWII and Vietnam era. During the time of war, players would go and serve in the military and baseball would have to replace them with less talented players. But Upon return, baseball returned to its once prestige self.

Every postseason, every game, every World Series, every everything after that 2021 World Series, the Royals won all those games because of David. He died on the year of 2122, and played baseball until his death. After his death, the royals never scored. 15 years into this, the team captain and manager, Steve Jobs and Randy Butternubs, broke up the team and nobody ever knew about what happened. It then became the law to never create a baseball named

The Reds were a much less proven team and did not have the same amount of experience that their opponents had, so most people believed that this would be a very hard series to win. The White Sox were led by a four headed hitting machine with Jackson, Collins, Faber, and Schalk who are now in the baseball hall of fame and had a combined on base percentage that season of over.400. The best hitter on the team was Eddie Collins, a 32 year old 2nd baseman with averages of.319 and.400 during the regular season and in the postseason he batted with over a.500 on base percentage. The White Sox also had the best pitcher in the AL at the time with Eddie Cicotte, a 35 year old starting pitcher who had a 1.82 ERA and who in 40 games pitched that year only allowed 256 hits. Famous gambler Arnold Rothstein knew that he could win big and that is why he paid eight players on the Chicago White Sox $100 thousand to throw the series vs the Reds.

In 1914, after a long run of mediocrity, the team turned around their last place standing by going 41-12 from July through September. They swept the Philadelphia A's in the World Series for the first

With the World series right around the corner, I thought it’d be a good time to share two amazing World Series that many people don’t know about.

After a season long of 162 days all teams and fans look forward towards the Postseason. Ten teams from both the 5 from the Nation league and 5 from the American league go to the playoffs. The

The 1919 World Series was very interesting to say the least. Some of the White Sox players wanted some extra money. I believe that this series is one of, if not the darkest chapter in Major League Baseball’s history.

The Texas Rangers (2-3) 2015 campaign comes to a stunning close, as the Toronto Blue Jays (3-2) win one of the craziest baseball games you will ever see. This game had just about everything you could possibly imagine, with the game being played under protest by the Blue Jays, trash being thrown on the field, benches clearing, and that’s just the start. Aaron Sanchez (1-0 3.46 ERA) got the win for the Blue Jays, and Cole Hamels (0-1 2.70 ERA) was the hard luck and undeserving loser for the Rangers.

The Royals went with their ace in the series in Bret Saberhagen. On her way into the stadium my mom talks about the atmosphere in the crowds. “The best way I could describe would be electric. The Royals fans were especially rowdy because they had the momentum going into the game and it was in Kansas City. The much anticipated game, however, turned out to be a blowout. St. Louis' rotation did not fare as well as Motley hammered a two run homer off Tudor in the second, Balboni delivered a two run single in the three run, third and Lonnie Smith launched a two run double in the six run, fifth. George Brett went four-for-five and Motley finished with three hits in the 11-0 massacre that crowned the "Comeback Kings" as World Series Champions (Baseball

The series was great, it started to show in game 5 that it was fixed. The White Sox had 3 hits zero runs and three errors, they played great the first few innings then the errors hurt them. People began to notice with the errors, others say it was because the rain delay. When it comes down to it, the eight players threw the game is what really went wrong. In game 6 there were nearly twenty thousand more fans than game seven, game seven only had 13,923. The fix really hurt people that bet on the game. This could never happen today because the officials learned from their mistakes. The White sox were a great team in 1917 they won the World Series. The team fell to sixth place in 1918. (“1919 World Series”) The fix hurt the team, in 1920 they finished 7th. After they got caught there has never been anything like this since. The eight players were banned from major league baseball forever.(solomon)

In game one it was 4-4 in the top of the ninth inning. Giant Casey Stengel hit a line drive to the center field. He got home and he won by putting the score up to 5-4 Giants. The Yankees went against the Pittsburgh Pirates In the 1960 World Series. When Mazerok hit the first strike he missed. On the second hit he hit the ball so hard it soared over the field and into the bleachers. That led to a win for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1927 the Yankees swept the World Series again. The lineup was so deadly people started calling it Murderers row. In 1919, the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Red Stockings met face to face. Everyone thought they would win because they had Eddie who was an excellent pitcher and Joe Jackson, their star slugger. They did pretty good from the beginning but they started doing terrible. A few years later they found out that the team messed up on purpose to get payed. In 1934 a new team came in place. They were the St.Louis Cardinals. Most of the people grew up pour and didn't have any money. They liked to pretend to fight in hotel lobbies. They went to the World Series against the Detroit Tigers. The Detroit Tigers thought the Cardinals would be easy to beat. But the Cardinals destroyed the Tigers with 4-3 Cardinals in the number of game. The Red Sox were an extraordinary team. They had Babe Ruth on their side. They won the World Series in 1912, 1915, 1916, and

The 2005 Kansas City Royals finished dead last in the ALC, winning less than 35% of their games that season. Due to the Royals less than stellar season, diehard KC baseball fans were forced to seek out other local teams to get their baseball fix. Much like the Royals at the time, my elementary coach-pitch softball games were not the place for such fans.

To start off, baseball is a male sport, where two teams play against each other to see who scores more runs at the end of the game. The game consists of nine innings. When a team get three outs at batting or on the field, it is time for the other
