A great one indeed, and maybe better than the '75 WS -- but that gets extra
points from me for having games 6 and 7 in Fenway vs. the Humpdome.  Other
personal favs are the '86 ALCS and NLCS, and the WS of '01, '68, and '64
(although truth to tell I barely remember '64).  And of course I've only
read about it, but the 1912 WS sounds incredible.  For some reason I barely
remember the '80 NLCS -- probably too busy with grad school and some intense
personal relationship stuff at the time for it to sink in.
