	1975 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1975 World Series was between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds.
		In many eyes, it was the greatest World Series ever played.
		The series also included Red Sox starter Luis Tiant's extended mediations while communing with someone in center field during his windups while pitching, a controversial play involving Fisk and the Reds' Ed Armbrister in Game 3, and many other memorable events.

		The World Series is played in the teams' cities where local fans paint their faces, stomp their feet, bang their thunderstix, fold their hands in prayer, exchange hugs and high-fives, deafen the opposing team with their roar and generally create a true sense of community that is too seldom seen in modern society.
		It is the World Series because the world is represented.
		World Series moments are easy to talk about because the year it happened isn't some state secret.

		The first World Series, in 1903, was a best-of-nine affair arranged by the winners of the NL and the AL and won by the AL's Boston Pilgrims in a 5-3 upset over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
		The 1917 Series was memorable for Giants third baseman Heinie Zimmerman's futile chase to home plate of Eddie Collins as the White Sox took the lead in the Series clincher; neither catcher Lew McCarty nor pitcher Rube Benton covered home.
		The Yankees appeared in their last World Series for the next 12 years in 1964 and lost to the Cardinals, led by Bob Gibson.

		The Reds mounted a 5-1 lead in the third Game thanks to home runs from Johnny Bench, Concepcion and Cesar Geronimo, but the Sox were able to tie it up with Fred Lynn's sacrifice fly in the sixth, Bernie Carbo's pinch homer in the seventh and Dwight Evans' two run bomb in the ninth.
		As the Series shifted back to Boston, it ran into a drenching New England rain that postponed the contest for an excruciating seventy-two hours.

	World Series of Poker: A Retrospective
		Brian "Sailor" Roberts, a grand-prize winner of $210,000 in 1975's World Series, learned to shoot dice as a l2-year- old caddie and later emerged from a four-year hitch in the Navy during the Korean War as a full-time gambler.
		Conceding that the World Series is a personal long shot, he views it as the ultimate competition with the biggest prize.
		His reputation as one of the world's best all-around poker players derives from his talent as a very high limit player, and if he were to concentrate on no-limit playing, he could very well be number one in the World Series.

	Johnny Bench \| The BASEBALL Page
		In the 1976 World Series, Bench went 8-for-15 (.533) with four extra-base hits (including two homers) and six RBI in a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees.
		The 1975 World Series is regarded by many as the greatest ever played.
		In the World Series, Bench performed as well as any batter in history, collecting eight hits (four for extra-bases) in the four-game sweep of the New York Yankees.

	IEBlog : Red Sox Win the World Series!
		It is amazing to think that they not only won the World Series for the first time since 1918, but they did it in extraordinary fashion, winning 8 straight games against two of the best teams in baseball.
		I was fortunate enough to see them play a number of games, cheer for them during the 1975 World Series (they lost to the Cincinnati Reds in seven games), and have my childhood dreams broken by Bucky Dent’s home run in the one game playoff in 1978.
		The first contests resembling the World Series were held during the 1880s, when the leading baseball clubs of the two major leagues—the National League and the American Association—agreed to play in exhibition games following their regular seasons.

		At 12:34 a.m., in the 12th inning, Fisk's histrionic home run brought a 7-6 end to a game that will be the pride of historians in the year 2525, a game won and lost what seemed like a dozen times, and a game that brings back summertime one more day.
		El Tiante had left in the top of the inning to what apparently was to be the last of his 1975 ovations; he who had become the conquering king had been found to be just a man, and it seemed so certain.
		Then when Foster sent his drive off the center-field fence in the seventh, it was 5-3, and when Tiant was left to start the eighth, Cesar Geronimo angled a leadoff home inside the right-field pole, El Tiante left to his chant and his ovations.

		The 1975 Red Sox would also have to attempt to match the imposing run-scoring ability of the Cincinnati Reds, while playing without one of their best offensive players: rookie outfielder Jim Rice.
		The first game of the ‘75 World Series lacked the kind of close-game dramatics associated with great postseason matchups, but didn’t lack for entertainment value—largely because of the contributions of Red Sox ace Luis Tiant.
		More importantly, it was a World Series that had resurrected the spirit of a game that seemed to have lagged in recent years.

		He had a point, for even with the tension-dousing three-day rainstorm in Boston, few Series had been the equal of this one for sustained drama.
		But for the 35,205 wedged into misshapen Fenway and the millions who watched on television, the sixth game of the 1975 Series will be the standard by which all future thrillers must be measured.
		In a Series of such majesty, the climactic blow should have been more consequential, a wall shot or a blast over Lynn's head.
