OCTOBER 2-10, 1968 -- A pitcher's duel is common in the World Series. But the 1968 World Series turned out to be a pitcher's duel between two pitchers: Detroit's Mickey Lolich and the Cards' Bob Gibson. Both were dominating on the mound. Both kept their teams in the Series by winning their first two starts. It would all come down to the decisive game 7, where the veteran World Series pitcher Gibson would go head to head with Lolitch for the first time in the Series. Only one pitcher could win this duel ... and the Series.
OCTOBER 21, 1975 -- Home runs by rookie Fred Lynn, pinch-hitter Bernie Carbo and the Reds' George Foster make this back-and-forth affair a World Series game to remember through nine innings. Then Carlton Fisk waves, prods, cajoles and otherwise wills his home run fair down the left-field line in the 12th, making this perhaps the most memorable game of all-time.
OCTOBER 20, 1982 -- Clutch hits by Keith Hernandez and George Hendrick backed the gutsy pitching of Joaquin Andujar in Game 7 of the 1982 World Series. When Bruce Sutter recorded the last out to close the door on the Milwaukee "Harvey's Wallbangers" Brewers, St. Louis had won its first World Series title since the Bob Gibson-led 1967 squad.
MAY 1, 1991 - When baseball's King of Ks, Nolan Ryan, strikes out Roberto Alomar for his 16th strikeout of the game, it marks the completion of Ryan's record seventh no-hit gem - three more than the man with the second most no-nos in history, Sandy Koufax. The 44 year-old Ryan proved yet again that there was still plenty of life left in the ole right arm.
OCTOBER 13, 2001 -- With their backs against the wall for the first time since 1997, the Yankees traveled to Oakland one loss away from elimination. A's starter Barry Zito stifled the Yanks through four innings, until Jorge Posada belted a solo homer in the fifth. Mike Mussina also pitched a gem, the key turning point coming on a bang-bang play in the bottom of the 7th, when Terrence Long drilled a ball into the right field corner. Yankee right fielder Shane Spencer fielded and threw toward the plate, where Jeremy Giambi was trying to score from first without sliding. Shortstop Derek Jeter, up the first base line, cut the throw off and executed a backhanded flip to Posada, who tagged Giambi out, 9-6-2. The eye-popping play preserved the lead, ended the inning, and turned the Series momentum the Yankees' way.
NOVEMBER 4, 2001 -- A fitting finale to one of the BEST World Series ever. Surviving two stunning losses in Games 4 & 5, the Diamondbacks found their own late-inning magic in the person of Luis Gonzalez. It began with Hall-of-Fame-bound starters Roger Clemens & Curt Schilling trading zeros through six. Schilling was strong on only two days rest, but left trailing 2-1 in the 8th after an Alfonso Soriano solo HR. Out of the bullpen came Game 5 starter Miguel Batista to face one batter; then manager Bob Brenly made the gutsy call to Randy Johnson -- the Game 6 starter just the night before -- for his second-ever postseason relief appearance. The Big Unit was perfect for 1.1, but all seemed on track for NY as they summoned "automatic" closer Mariano Rivera to hold the one-run lead. Rivera was riding a string of 23 consecutive postseason saves and seemed as invincible as they come. Then, in events as almost as otherworldly as the rain that fell on them in the desert, Mo proved human... and the D-backs became the youngest franchise to win a title on Gonzalez' dramatic game-winning line drive.
OCTOBER 27, 2002 -- Anaheim completed its magical run to the top of the sport with a 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants in Game 7 before 44,598 at Edison Field. Third baseman Troy Glaus, who battted .385 with three homers and eight RBIs, was named series MVP. The Angels won the Series, four games to three, bringing the World Series trophy to Anaheim for the first time in the 41-year history of the franchise.
OCTOBER 5, 2003 -- The Cubs, anchored by another stellar performance from Kerry Wood, ended a 95-year drought with their 5-1 Game 5 win at Turner Field. The 3-2 Series win was the Cubs' first postseason series victory since their 1908 World Series win.
