Game 1: Phillies: 4 Braves: 3 (1993): Curt Schilling struck out the first five Braves he faced and 10 overall in 8 innings. The Phillies led going into the 9th, but Atlanta tied it. Kim Batiste doubled in John Kruk in the 10th for the win.
Game 2: White Sox: 2 Angels: 1 (2005): The AJ strikeout play game. AJ strikes out. Josh Paul throws the ball back to the mound. AJ runs to first and is safe. Sox score. Sox win. It gave the Sox the momentum for the rest of the series.
Game 3: Detroit: 1 Kansas City: 0 (1984): Milt Wilcox pitched the game of his career. Willie Hernandez finished it off. Darrell Evans won a footrace with Willie Wilson. Tigers win their first pennant since 1968.
Game 4: Boston: 6 New York: 4 (2004): Yanks were looking to sweep. Boston rallied to tie the game off Mo Rivera in the 9th. In the 12th, David Ortiz homered and the Sox would not lose again.
Game 5: Boston: 7 California: 6 (1986): The Sox were down to their final strike. California and Gene Mauch were onto their first ever World Series. Then, something funny happened on the way to the champagne. Dave Henderson hit a 2 strike homerun to give Boston a 6-5 lead. California would tie it in the bottom half of the 9th. Hendu would win the game on a sac fly in the 11th. The Red Sox would go to the series.
Game 6: Mets: 7 Astros: 6 (1986): Perhaps the greatest game ever. Houston led 3-0 in the 9th. If the Mets lost, they would have to face Mike Scott in Game 7. They tied the game in the 9th. In the 14th, they took the lead, but Billy Hatcher tied it with a homerun. In the 16th, the Mets scored 3 and the Astros scored 2 before Jesse Orosco struck out Kevin Bass on a 3-2 count. Prior to the strikeout, Keith Hernandez told Orosco that if he threw a fastball to Bass, Orosco would die.
Game 7: Atlanta: 3 Pittsburgh: 2 (1992)
Pittsburgh led 2-0 in the 9th. Atlanta had cut the lead to 1. With two out, Francisco (10 at bats) Cabrera hit a pinch hit single to score the tying run and then after what seemed like a year, Sid Bream to win the pennant.
