This is going to be the most watched baseball game in 20-30 years. Game 7 baseball is almost unwatchable if you're a diehard. Fortunately, I have no dog in the fight, but I do like the way the Indians play ball and really respect Francona as a manager.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

The last nine World Series Game 7s have ended with the home team winning.
The Cubs are trying to match the 1979 Pirates of Willie Stargell and Sister Sledge lore in coming back from 3-1 by winning the final 2 games on the road.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Exactly. It will be easy for me to watch. I just don't care that much. I suppose I am rooting for the Indians because in the early 90's Francona was the manager of the Birmingham Barons. We were both at a fundraiser together and he sat next to me and didn't small talk. His only words to me were, "would you pass the tea?" I like that.

Well, sure...if you don't count San Francisco winning at Kansas City TWO years ago.
Heh, not sure how that slipped through, probably lack of interest in that series. Home field advantage for the biggest baseball game in Cubs and Indians history was decided by the ALL STAR game in July.

Unfortunately, our Detroit Tigers are responsible for the National League winning 2 of those World Series, going 1-8 in the two World Series games the franchise was in the last 10 years (the 2006 World Series and the 2012 World Series,) with Justin Verlander being 0-3 overall from when he pitched in them."I hope to see the Lions in the Super Bowl before I die"
