A World of a Series
A team from Manassas is playing a team from Washington, 32 miles away, but we insist on calling it a World Series.
Five teams have won the nine World Series that have been contested. Only one has won it more than once. The Barnburners are hoping to become the second franchise to get added to that list. Standing in their way, the first team that beat them…ever…in history…Scared Hitless. There have been more losses for the Burners since that one, but you never forget your first time.
Scared Hitless is not without history themselves. The second oldest franchise in the league, they look little like the first edition that joined the league in 2006, three name changes and limitless personnel changes ago. They were last in the big Series in Summer of 2008, but lost to the Catalista Revolucion, a team that doesn’t exist anymore. They themselves almost didn’t exist anymore, taking the last summer season off for a couple of the guys to get their heads on right. They’ve come back a stronger team than ever before. The best record in the league, and ranked 6th in the nation, will their 4th post-season appearance finally get them the ring they want?
Tune in Sunday to find out. If DCS Saturday was any indication, this should be a series the world recognizes, without any insistence.
