NL vs AL

Post by Bob Aronoff »

Ken Warshaw is right for the selective years he enumerated, 1973 through 2004. Going back to when the Series first started (1903), were it not for the obnoxiously domineering and overly represented (in baseball)Yankees, the AL doesn't come out a winner with the NL. I will concede the Yankee wins "count" but they are in a league of their own. They have remained the financially stongest club year-in and year- out. No club can match them when it comes to buying the best players money can buy. Ask Montreal about this situation.

On that score, I got perverse pleasure seeing the AL wild card team, the Red Sox, luck out and beat NYY in the ALCS 4-3. Who could believe Mariano Rivera would blow two consecutive saves?

Speaking of selective years, take the All-Star Games between 1960 and 1982, a few of those years they even played two All-Star Games. In that 22-year time span, the AL managed only two wins. That's dominance.
