The first World Series with two wild card teams was 2002, the Angels defeated the Giants 4-3.

Congratulations are in order to the Giants, but also to the Royals, hope it won't be another 29-year wait!

Game 7 tonight.

Good luck, Royals!

Being from a land where we issue proper First Names, I assume he isn't a Senior NCO.

His name was Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr.

Thanks. I didn't know that. Compares favourably with Messrs Bush, Jr. and Romney. Must have been a nightmare<br/>

Congrats to the Royals!
Great to see a team that hasn't been there in a long time succeed, hopefully they can win it all.

Congrats to KC!
Looks like it's back to the eighties in the AL: Baltimore hasn't been to/won a WS since '83, KC since '85.

It is early on a Saturday morning; the spambot has been reported.
I am just wondering if he can get over 100 before the Admins delete him.

Nice win, been a long time for the Royals.
St. Louis beat the Dodgers, maybe a repeat of '85 coming?

Kind of wish the Reich would have won. We probably would not have to deal with spambots..
