Your Yanks are probably favorites to win it all, but my Dodgers would've given you a run. Been a fan going back to Don Sutton's control pitching/late Sixties..

I became more a basketball fan, Sacramento Kings fan in the late 90's and early Ought years, until it came to light that refs fixed game 6 of the 2002 regional finals so the Lakers would win.

Now I am mostly oblivious to sports (where's the time?), except for the post season Dodgers, whom I think I jinxed by announcing "there's no way they can lose now" when we had a two run lead and Kershaw came in from the bullpen..

We might have crossed paths at Meadowlands. I lived in Jersey City in '83 (sublet from seasonal circus performers, haha) and NYC in 84-85 (worked at Tower Records in Lower Manhattan) and would take the bus out there for the Harness meets all the time. I'm not sure you could even bet other tracks at that point, but remember the fun of picking harness horses. Much more consistent..

I know...LOL...this thread was supposed to get no responses, to make a point, but hell..that's no fun.. wink
