spyboy1 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Many times the Yankees have played World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers & New York Giants. They also played the Mets in 2000 and those were all nicknamed "The Subway Series".I've heard the Series in 1985 with Kansas City vs. St. Louis (on opposite sides of Missouri) called the "Show-Me Series" and the "I-70 showdown Series" since I-70 runs across the state between the two.In 1989 Oakland played San Francisco in the "Bay Bridge Series" or the "The Battle of the Bay".I've even heard the 1944 World Series between the St. Louis Browns and St. Louis Cardinals called the "Streetcar Series", or the "St. Louis Showdown."The one that has me stumped is the 1906 World Series with the Chicago Cubs vs. the Chicago White Sox. Has anyone ever heard a nickname for this Series? Have I missed any where two neighboring teams have met, espeically one with a catchy name like "Subway Series"?JeffB Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog Click here to see my hockey and baseball jersey collection online ?You don?t like to see 20 kids punching 20 other kids.

leopard88 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I remember someone calling the 1979 World Series (Orioles vs. Pirates) the Allegheny Airlines Series, but that name never exactly stuck (since most of the rest of the country wouldn't have known what Allegheny Airlines was, though it eventually became USAirways).

EatSleepJeep Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 1991 Twins/Braves was known as the Worst-To-First Series as both teams had finished dead last in their leagues during the previous season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 1991 Twins/Braves was known as the Worst-To-First Series as both teams had finished dead last in their leagues during the previous season.I don't know whether everyone around the Country did this, but some in Minnesota called the 1987 Series (Twins vs. Cards) the "Riverboat Series" as both towns are on the Mississippi.

Korkie Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think the Phils/Orioles in 1983 was called the I-95 series.

Shumway Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think the 92' Series between the Braves and Jays was called the F*** Canada Series.Wouldn't 1994 be the Canada Series? Clearly, it would've been Jays/'Spos, and they just cancelled the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 2006 was the Instantly Forgettable World Series.Speak for yourself, amigo.The 1985 series was referred to as the I-70 series since that's the interstate which passes through St. Louis and Kansas City.

Bronxmet Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The 1975 Series can be called the All-Red Series (Reds v. Red Sox)Also, the 1986 series can be called the I-95 series as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all come for clever names that might have been or could be in the future, but that ignores the original question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snazel Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I think the 92' Series between the Braves and Jays was called the F*** Canada Series.Damn no wonder they flew the flag upside down in game two.Thankfully, Ed Sprague in the late innings Ed Sprague avenged this quickly.I always thought the 92 series was dubbed the: "Laugh at Jane Fonda" series. She was featured in the Toronto papers that year wearing a skimpy Toronto Blue Jays shirt, and not much else. On second thought, maybe that was suppose to be the: "Shriek in horror at Jane Fonda" series.So many memories of that series, including Don Cherry wearing a conehead, and one of the worst celebration speeches ever by Todd Stoddlemyre.

Swiss Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 In 1989 Oakland played San Francisco in the "Bay Bridge Series" or the "The Battle of the Bay".Actually that World Series was called as the B.A.R.T. Series.That is for Angelo "Bart" Bartlett Giamatti, former MLB commish passed away few weeks before the World Series and also it was named from the Bay Area Rapid Transit.I've even heard the 1944 World Series between the St. Louis Browns and St. Louis Cardinals called the "Streetcar Series", or the "St. Louis Showdown."Also known as the "All Mound Series". But I never know why was named with that way. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
