#Length of rain delay 2016 world series game 7 series#
Even if you factor out the emotional element of the time, this was a classic game, one that featured a beautiful duel between Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling, one ultimately decided by the D-backs finding a way to solve the great Mariano Rivera.īoth teams had finished in last place in 1990, but they staged a Series for the ages that also featured an epic Game 6 (Kirby Puckett’s game-winner inspiring Jack Buck to famously proclaim, “We’ll see you tomorrow night!” Jack Morris’ heroic, historic 10 shutout innings whipped the Metrodome into a frenzy before the Twins could be delivered by a Long Island boy, Gene Larkin (Chaminade High, Columbia U.) What’s remarkable is that Game 7 managed to live up to Games 4 and 5, when the Yankees twice rose from the dead to keep the Series alive. There was all that combined history (no Cubs titles since 1908, none for Cleveland since ’48), there was an epic surprise (Rajai Davis’ improbable, eighth-inning, two-run, game-tying homer off Aroldis Chapman), there was a rain delay past midnight (during which Jason Hayward famously gave his teammates a pep talk) and, ultimately, there was perhaps the most epic rendition of “Go Cubs, Go” ever. Look, just because something happened recently doesn’t mean it can’t be the best of the best. And none of those Series that included a seventh game are included here.) (NOTE: There were a number of years early on when the World Series was a best-of-nine thankfully none of those went the distance. 38 to this list, One Man’s Ranking of all the Game 7s. About half those times, Game 7 has lived up to the hype.Īnd now we can add No. There have been 37 prior times when the World Series had been tied at 3-3. Sometimes the very best games of a Series just happen to occur in Game 3, or Game 6, or Game 1. Sometimes we get 1962.Īnd sometimes we get 1985 (Royals 11, Cardinals 0) or 1934 (Cardinals 11, Tigers 0). We romanticize Game 7 of the World Series, and with good reason: sometimes we really do get something to hold on to forever. That’s not being a buzz kill, just facts. The odds were always about 50-50 that we would get what we wanted Wednesday night: a classic Game 7 to end a terrific World Series.
