1921: NY Giants and NY Yankees
1922: NY Giants and NY Yankees
1944. St. Louis Browns and Cardinals
 
For the slightly younger, less-informed crowd, could you please state the names of said-ballparks?
 
It was mentioned on here that Ron Hassey caught two perfect games.

But what other great baseball moment did Hassey have a front row seat for?

Some may say it was the greatest baseball moment of the past 30 years or perhaps ever.
 
Ron Hassey was the Oakland catcher in the ninth inning of game 1 of the 1988 World Series. He's still waiting to catch Dennis Eckersley's back-door slider for the third strike on Kirk Gibson and the final out of the game.

Should have called for a fastball instead.

BTW, Tim Raines was the batter when Dave Dravecky broke his left arm and ended his career.

Livan Hernandez with the Marlins in 97?

He is one.

As we all know the Yankees have won more World Series(26) than any other team, in fact they have won more than the next 2 teams combined.

As we all know The Cardinals are in 2nd place with 10.
Which teams are in 3rd and 4th place?
 
Without looking it up, the Los Angeles/Brooklyn Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds?


My back-up answer is the Dogers and the Athletics.

And the back-up was a better choice: Athletics, 9; Dodgers, 9; Red Sox, 6; Reds, 5.

You can turn that number for the Dodgers upside down: They're tied with the Bosox at 6.

Oh, damn it. I had Dodgers 6; Athletics 9 ... then switched it to be descending. Well, almost. Good call.
