40 days and 40 nights. Series could start December 10 on Mt. Ararat.
The 1975 World Series had that long rain delay between game 5 and game 6. Game 5 was Oct 16 and Game 6 was Oct 21. There was a travel day in there.
It was worth the wait for Game 6!
I was looking at the 1976 World Series box scores. The Big Red Machine steamrolled the Yankees in a four game sweep, and there were 32 strikeouts total. Unreal.
A classic game, and finish! (Game 6) Alas, the Curse of the Bambino would continue for 29 more years before ending.
Sparky Anderson had some great teams.
Everyone remembers Carlton Fisk’s homer around the foul pole, but no one remembers Bernie Carbo’s homer that he scooped out of the dirt that brought the Sox within reach.
The 1989 WS was delayed 10 days between game 2 and 3 due to earthquake. If that wasn’t enough to make them change locations, I don’t think a long rainy spell will either.
Carbo was 3 for 7 in the series with 2 homers and a double with 4 ribbies, a walk, and 3 runs scored. He started just one game, Game 7.
True but that was when it was still guaranteed to end in October (though it got close in '89).
Now that it pretty much always extends into November, an earthquake or hurricane or other natural disaster probably does get them to change venues. There’s no way MLB wants it running into Thanksgiving.
Speaking of homers, Philly’s got three so far!!!
You can’t make this up
You know what, good for him.
Of course the two teams involved were San Francisco and Oakland. I’d guess both cities were disrupted by the earthquake.
Dusty’s excellent pitching management continues (7-0 Phils).
The Phillies are seeing something in McCullen’s pitching. They are absolutely teeing off on him. It’s like the damn home run derby out there.
The Phillies should start banging on a trash can - just for fun. 
McCullers is the first guy to give up five home runs in a World Series game.
I CANNOT believe he left McCullers in for so long.
Oh wait. 1993 game 162. 2002 WS game 6.
Yeah I can believe it.
And Dusty Baker is the first manager to leave his pitcher in the game long enough to have five home runs in a World Series game.
Not that it appears to matter, as any one of them was all they needed.
