102 years, that is! When the Boston Pilgrims beat the Brooklyn Robins 4 games to 1. The Pilgrims had a big lefty named Babe Ruth who pitched a complete 14 inning game to beat the Robins 2-1 in game 2. I don't know if any player on either team is still alive to throw out the first ball, but it would sure be nice. I've looked forward to this world series for years. The Red Sox blew it in 1978 when the Yanks overcame a 14 game deficit and won the division in a one game playoff and we lost to the Yanks.
It should be a great world series, with the Dodgers having to fight and claw for first the division win, then dispatching the Braves, now having beaten a feisty Brewer team. The Red Sox, meanwhile, have had it easy.
