A rematch

So now we know who the Dodgers will be playing in the NLCS: the Phillies.

I've seen this before. In 1977 and again in 1978 the two teams met in the championship series, with the Dodgers winning both times (and, it grieves me to remember, going on to lose to the hated Reggie Jackson-led Yankees). They also met in 1983, and that time the Phillies won.

My friend N has particularly bitter memories of one of those games in 1977. Personally I thought the events recounted there were miraculous.

You would. :-)

It couldn't have been a "higher" power that somehow induced Ozark to forget to send Martin out to replace The Bull. Whatever power it was, though, the same perverse mind was on hand at Shea Stadium on October 25, 1986.
