Tigers vs Cards

[SentToStud]

Can't wait. Finally a rematch of a great World Series in 1968.

I was but a wee lad in '68, growing up a 10 minute bus ride from Tiger Stadium. Here's what I remember.

McLain... 31 game winner
Gibson ... 22 game winner with 13 (13!!) complete game shutoutsand an ERA of 1.1.

Tigers ... start CF Mickey Stanley at shortstop, getting more offense and bench weak-hit/great field SS Ray Oyler.

Game 1... Gibson strikes out 17.
Game 4... Gibson rolls again, CG struck out 10 or 11. SL leads Series 3-1.
Game 5... Lou Brock forgets to slide.... out at home, barely. SL now 3-2.
Game 6... After losing game 1 and after getting absolutely crushed in game 4 and not making it through the 3rd inning, McLain comes back on 2 DAYS REST, pitching a complete game. Series 3-3.
Game 7 ... In St. Louis, Lolich comes back on 2 DAYS rest and dominates, pitching a 5 (or 6) hit CG to win his 3rd start of the series. Tigers finally got to Gibson sfter two outs in the 7th. Tigers win!

Anything anywhere close to this will be good enough for me.
