Posted by Boston Elevated on Sun Apr 30 10:04:29 2006, in response to why Yankee vs Mets baseball games are called "Subway Series"?, posted by tramrunner on Sat Apr 29 23:19:15 2006. In 1948, The Braves played in Boston, and if the Red Sox had won their playoff game against Cleveland, (which they didn't, which is, of course, another story!!) then Boston was to have its first "Subway Series". But it didn't come to pass. In fun, when I visited Atlanta a a few years ago for a 3 game series, I brought a "tongue in cheek" sign along with me which read "Red Sox vs Braves, Subway Series, 2002". It got a few curious glances. All in fun.I believe they called the infamous 1986 Series, Red Sox vs. Mets the "I-95 World Series". Although everybody knows most people who drive from NY-Bos do not stay the whole time on I-95. Its simply a media name or catchphrase. I think when the Giants played the A's in 1987, they called it the "Bay Area World Series". (They actually could have called it the "Earthquake World Series". Also when the Cardinals played the Royals in a World Series, they called it the "I-70 World Series". So, as I see it, is a very good description of a the World Series when the Yankees play the Mets. |
