I Give in

>> Friday

Since even baseballreference.com is getting into the "classic World Series matchup" theme by highlighting 1934 and 1968 on the homepage, I figured I would do a total reversal on my disdain for such things and do my own Page2-style "How has the world compared to the other times these franchises played?" thingy. (Additions welcome.)

Hot new catch prase

(Sorry if that was lame. My sleep schedule is way messed up and I was bored.)
