Will Be Yankees/Astros In The ALCS Again
Today, on what is the exact 45 year anniversary of the Yankees’ ending a then 15 year title drought, in a game 6 home win vs L.A. that was highlighted by Reggie Jackson’s 3 home run performance, New York advanced to a third ALCS clash vs Houston (Astros) in the past 6seasons.
Houston (Astros) in their big league record 6th straight LCS, won the previous two and will be I say, at least 8 to 5 favorites in the upcoming one, which starts tomorrow night in Houston.
The win by the Yankees dropped the Cleveland baseball franchise decisive game record to (1-8).
Playing on the exact anniversaries of the ’77 World Series in all 5 “div” series games vs “Cleve,” the Yankees repeated a game 1 win on Tuesday October 11th and as cited, series clinching wins (#6 in ’77 and decisive #5 today, another Tuesday October 18th).
Games (3-5) were reverse results, the Yankees won on Friday Oct. 14 in ’77 (Bing Crosby died that day, Linda Ronstadt sang the national anthem in L.A.– and Saturday October 15, ’77 but lost this year on the exact anniversaries.
In the must game 4, 2 days ago they won on Sunday October 16th, having lost up (3-1) “exactly” 45 years earlier.
A truly great clutch player and a great player period, Reggie Jackson, pictured above.
