I'd just like to address anyone who is claiming this is the greatest world series in recent years.

I'd like to remind you all that the Yankees lost in 2001. That is all.

The only problem with 2001 was ARIZONA. And the Red Sox watching that series and thinking "we really should sign that Byung Yung Kim guy, life-altering meltdowns against the Yankees, what could go wrong".

The most recent pitcher to win a World Series Game 7: John Lackey.

...

lolololololololololololol

Seriously, that is awesome. It's been that long since the World Series went 7 games; John Lackey was actually a good pitcher the last time it happened. (He was also a rookie.) So glad that he's getting Tommy John surgery; it'll keep him from screwing up the 2012 season, and if we're really lucky, might actually turn him back into a semi-reliable #4 or #5 starter for 2013.

2001's definitely up there, but if tonight's Game 7 is close--probably want it to go extra-innings to be safe, since last night's Game 6 was the first extra-inning game of the Series and most of the competitors for the title of "Best of All Time" had at least two--2011 could be in the mix for Best of All Time. I'm pretty sure that short of Game 7 suddenly reminding Berkman of the actual best postseason game he's ever been a part of (2005 NLDS Game 4, by no means part of a classic series--I'm not even sure if an LDS can qualify for that discussion--but definitely an all-time classic game), I think 1991's title is probably safe, but any "pedestrian" thriller, like a 12-inning game or one where the winning team enters the ninth inning trailing, regardless of how it gets to that point, could have 2011 challenging 1975 for the #2 spot on the list of best ever.

(And for the record, yes, it's also still possible that 2011 will finish behind 2001. Perhaps I've got a little bit of recency bias as well since 2001 is the only all-time classic that I actually remember, being just two years old in 1991, but I've got 2001 at #3 going into this year, behind only 1991 and 1975. The Yankees certainly did their part, winning all three of their games close, but blowouts in Arizona's Game 1 and Game 6 wins prevent it from reaching the same rarefied air. To put it in perspective: the 1991 World Series had four walkoff wins, one each in the ninth, 10th, 11th, and 12th innings of games, plus a fifth game in which a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth broke a tie. Five one-run games, with the winning run scoring in the eighth inning or later in all five--and one of the two decided by multiple runs was decided by just three. This is why 1991 is the best ever.)
