Don’t miss Tom Boswell’s article in today’s Washington Post. It is all about sabermetric’s analysis of the Royals chances of winning the World Series up to the start of last night’s game. For the past 32 World Series, the team that goes home for the last 2 games becomes almost unbeatable! And ten of those teams were BEHIND 3 games to 2 when they returned home. The winning percentage for the home teams in those final 2 games is .885. For American League teams in this group (think Kansas City) that means even more because they get to use their designated hitter
But hasn’t SanFran now won two titles on the road? Anyway, it was a great series and a fitting end to an amazing playoff season.
