A guy I worked with was a Mets and a Braves fan go figure. At any rate when Atlanta drew the Yankees (whom he hated) and went up 2-0 he was talking some real trash. Made it a point to seek me out. As the worm turned he started to disappear and after it was all over he was one bitter individual. During the '99 Series I did not see him at all. Yeah I got a huge chuckle out of those two series but I still loved the '58 Yankees down 3 games to 1 and they came back and kicked the Braves asses.
...though I don't remember it, they say the '57 and '58 WS were both great Series...a lot of talent and future HOFers on both sides. ...I always get some grief from the "locals" down here whenever I'd wear a Yanx cap or shirt or warmup jacket in public...I'd just laugh...it really pisses them of when you do that.
Both Series were great although I was disappointed that the Yankees lost. Game 4 pivotal play with Nippy Jones pinch hitting and getting bopped by a pitch that the umpire called a ball. Upon further examination a splotch of shoe polish was found with Jones being awarded first base. The game went south from that point. Casey protested the hell out of the play but it stood. And yep the Braves had some "A" list players, Adcock, Aaron, and Mathews were pretty formidable with Spahn and Burdette heading the staff. Crandall was a decent catcher with Logan and Schoendeist as well. Tony Kubec (Wisconsin Boy) had a nice series especially game 3, which I saw at a lady from Wisconsins house.
