Wow didn't know the 16 seed beat the 1st. Crazy. I'm going with 2002 here.

[Providence A's]

The 16 seed won a World Series, so it's not unthinkable. Interestingly, the 1 seed did not win a World Series; they got there, but lost.

[awefullspellare]

Hmm. Intersting to say the least.

I thought Terrence Long was the 2002 team's starting CF.

[Providence A's]

you can edit the lineup and I take him out because he sucks. They also put Ellis at 2nd instead of Durham. They have Olmedo DH instead of Mabry...I've changed the lineup a little sometimes. I've done it with 2001, too as the sim likes to have Johhny Damon in left field, which he never was.

1974 wins game 3 by a score of 7 - 4. Glenn Abbott was the player of the game.
