  • Did NBC and ABC alternate every year what part of the playoffs they showed or something? The Tigers in 1984 had the ALCS on ABC and the World Series on NBC.

  • @Knightmessenger From 1976-1989 (when CBS took over the contract), ABC had the World Series in odd numbered years and the LCS and All-Star Game in even numbered years.

  • To Gaetti; for the first time ever the Minnesota Twins are WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! No Twins fan would ever forget that 1st world series title from 1987 although they only had 85 wins during the regular season.

  • Why don't you go to St. Louis & wait for them.

  • @TMC1982Part2 Also in 1995....NBC & ABC alternated World Series Games due to the strike in 94!!

  • "To left field and deep, and Downing goes back, and it is GONE!!! Unbelievalbe!! You're looking at one for the ages here! Astonishing!" Al Michaels Game 5 of the ALCS Red Sox vs. Angels

    "Three and two to Bass. STRUCK HIM OUT!! Kevin Bass strikes out on three breaking balls and the New York Mets have won the National League pennant." Keith Jackson Game 6 NLCS Mets vs. Astros

    What a thrilling postseason the 1986 season was.

  • Is There A Longer Version of The Theme?

  • @MrCHITOWN247 yup, the last World Series game to be played in the afternoon was game 6 of the '87 World Series.

    And didn't ABC use to do Sunday afternoon baseball games in addition to "Monday Night Baseball?"
