The Greatest Play In Baseball History.

There have been many great baseball plays in the history of the game.  The great catch by Willie Mays in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series between the New York Giants and Cleveland Indians.  Or Fred Merkle's failure to touch 2nd base.  But on April 25, 1976 in Dodger Stadium, during the 4th inning,  Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs performed the greatest play in the history of the sport.

Congratulations San Francisco Giants

For winning the World Series in 4 straight games! 

What a post season!  What a team!  What a game!

Congratulation!

To the New York San Francisco Giants on winning the World Series.

From Wikipedia:

The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in San Francisco, California, which currently plays in the National League West Division. They are the current World Series champions. As one of the older baseball teams, the Giants have won the most games of any team in the history of American baseball, and any North American professional sports team. They have won 21 National League pennants and appeared in 18 World Series championships, both tied with rivals Los Angeles Dodgers for most in the league. The Giants have been invited to the World Series an NL record 19 times, but boycotted the event in 1904.

The Giants played in New York City through the 1957 season, after which they moved west to California to become the San Francisco Giants. As the New York Giants, they won 14 pennants and 5 World Championships, from the era of John McGraw and Christy Mathewson to that of Bobby Thomson and Willie Mays. The Giants have won four pennants and the 2010 World Series since arriving in San Francisco.

Well Done Giants!

Take Me Out To The Ballgame!

There came a racket at the Pearly Gates,
He was rattling them,
St. Peter stood aside, then with a flourished bow, he let the man in.
"The team is in such disarray, can you fix it?"

"Who'd you got?"  The man asked.

"We've got Joe in Center with Willie and Mickey as relief, Ruth in the field, Lou is on first, Jackie's at second, Ted is out in the left, Josh is catcher, Leroy is pitcher, Honus is our shortstop, and Eddie is at 3rd.

We would have Ty but he plays for the other side."  St. Peter told the man as he directed him to the ballpark.  "It has gotten real bad.  The other side beats us every time."

The man looked at the assembled team.  "You've got some fine talent here.  Who's managing?"

"Your friend Billy."

The man walked up to Billy, pointed his finger at him and shouted:

"YOU'RE FIRED!"

Rest In Peace George Steinbrenner.  Baseball will never be the same!

Special kudos for those who can name the members of the baseball team.
