Howdy everyone! I completely messed up on Rob Dibble’s name. I for some reason said Rob “Dribble” and didn’t catch myself pronouncing it like that during recording or editing. Apologies for that.

You should do best teams to not win the World Series

Being the worst team to win the World Series is better than being the best team to not win it.

It's hard to describe the 2011 experience as a Cardinals fan. It feels so unique but I'd love to hear if there are compatible seasons for other teams. We basically were in the playoffs a month before the regular season ended. The last week of the season felt like a playoff series trying to get in after the slow climb all month. Then we take down the Phillies with a magical pitching performance from Carp. We beat the division rival Brewers. And then that World Series game 6...

2014, it doesn't matter what happens in the regular season, it's matters if you get in

Rob Dribble...here I was thinking his last name was Dibble😂 Just kidding man love the video keep up the awesome work!

2021 Braves are really a tale of two halfs, pre all star and post all star break. They were a team that was not expected to be as bad as they were the first half of that season. From what I remember, they weren’t too drastically different from the NLCS team of 2020. Injuries plagued them and they did underperform.

The trade deadline really made them a completely different team though and I believe they had the best record of anyone in the league from mid-July through the end of the season.

The Denkinger call is one of the worst calls in baseball history

You forgot to mention the real MVP of the '87 Series. The Indoor Soft-ball stadium called the Metrodome. If you think about it, had the National League had home field advantage in 1987 and 1991. The Twins could very well be looking for their first series championship. 87, it was pretty much 7 blow outs for the home team. St. Louis couldn't hit in that stadium and utilize their speed. And the Twins couldn't get homeruns like they were used to in the then cavernous Busch Stadium II.

The '91 Series was alot closer as both teams were really good. But again the home team won every game.

The only other thing I'd ad would be. The 2006 Cardinals were pretty pathetic for most of the season, no doubt. But they had a ton of injuries going throughout the year. That team finally got healthy the last two weeks of the season. Plus, it was still the team that won over 100 games the previous two years. So the talent was there in the end.

I'll always remember USA today beat-writer, Bob Nightengale. Predicting the Tigers would win in Three. St. Louis was given no chance to win it. Was that egg on his face.

The 2011 world series was the most sickening I have ever seen. Twice, TWICE, the Rangers had the Cardinals down to their last strike in Game 6 only to have the damned Cardinals tie the game with the run-scoring hits. To hell with the Cardinals.

2019 Nationals definitely could have a spot here.

1987 was not the Twins first World Series championship. It was actually their second. Their first came in 1924 against the New York (now San Francisco) Giants, though at that time, the Twins were based in Washington D.C. as the Washington Senators. So 1987 was their first World Series in Minnesota as the Twins, but not their first overall.

Still, crazy that the Twins won the World Series that year considering their record (particularly their road record). Also, fun fact, the 1987 World Series is the only time the bottom of the 9th was never played in a best-of-seven baseball series (I think)

[VinceWhitacre]

1987 wasn't the first world series in Twins' franchise history, 1924 was.

Yeah, they were the Washington Senators then, but it's the same franchise.

[dynamicvoltage]

The Rangers definitely had the better team in 2011. The lost because a wild card team got home field advantage because of the stupid All-Star game rules. But the better team doesn't always win. That's what's great (and horrible about basebsll). Anyone that gets in has a chance to win it all.

You left out the 1959 Dodgers who beat the White Sox in the World Series despite only 88 games

[harpermanofficial]

i can respect you getting straight to the point in this top 10 video

[sweetmapleleafs]

1990 Reds DO NOT belong on this list. What you fail to mention was the fact it was their 1st place wire to wire season. The only other team to win WS in a W2W year were the '05 White Sox. Look, Lou Piniella took over the roster that Pete Rose selfishly sabotaged for several years, and won with it in his first season as skipper. The '97 Marlins dont belong on this list either. No, that team was built for that one year as Wayne Huizenga was going to sell that team right after. They had the highest expectations that year than any team. You know who deserves to be on the list? The '03 Marlins, 1918 Red Sox, 1945 Tigers, '59 Dodgers, '01 DBacks & the 2020 Dodgers Mickey Mouse title year should be #1 be the way.

About the Cardinals blowing 26 saves...I'm sure they came back to win at least a few of those games in extras.

It would be frustrating to be a 100 win team if it wasn't for those final 3 outs...but you couldn't be in a better position than having to just fix that one part of your game.

[TBevill]

2011 Cardinals were like the 2006 Chicago Bears. Shouldn’t have been there but somehow got there.

[stevestevenson]

Ron Dribble and Jorge Orta were two of my favorite players growing up
