With the stunning run of the ‘98 Astros still alive and well on the NL side of things, the AL winner is the lone team that can prevent the virtual Astros from reaching championship glory. But before that can be decided, these two Classic Era teams — the ‘29 Philadelphia Athletics and the ‘12 Boston [...]

The National League side of the bracket saw plenty of upsets (11 to be exact) which led to 2 #6 seeds squaring off in the Final 4 of the BDD/Strat-O WGBC. Since the 2 remaining seeds from the NL groups were both 6 seeds, it came down to tournament record to decide who was grabbed [...]

Four teams remain:
6) 1998 Astros
6) 1957 Mil. Braves
2) 1929 Philad. As
2) 1912 Red Sox
… and only 3 contestants have two of them correct. Stay tuned to see if “Djs5″ can hold off the competition, or maybe the one entrant who had the 1998 Astros (“Ron.”) will ride that dark horse team to a victory…

With one spot left in the Semifinals, another Athletics team was in action as the second AL qualifer was to be decided. Would the higher seeded 1929 Athletics keep a team from the Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland franchise alive in the tournament or would the 1984 Detroit Tigers pull off the upset and send the final A’s [...]

Over on the American League side of the bracket, 2 #2 seeds looked to end the higher seed madness that plagued the National League portion of the tournament. Standing in the way of the favored ‘12 Red Sox and ‘29 Athletics advancing are the ‘72 Athletics and ‘84 Tigers. In both NL matches, the more [...]

Half of the Final Four teams have been determined now, with exactly one entrant selecting the “mighty” 1998 Astros team (and no, the games aren’t rigged to pay homage to Jose Lima, though we’ll all miss him). Longtime leader “Scot” is now in 2nd place (another “Scot” also made the top 50, but the [...]

With the ‘98 Astros already in the Semifinals, the South Bracket final adds the 2nd half of the National League side of the Final 4. The Stan Musial-led ‘42 Cardinals — also the #1 seed in the bracket — faces off with the Hank Aaron-led ‘57 Braves. Would the only top seed remaining survive or [...]

64 teams entered and at the end of Round 3, the final 4 will remain. The teams remaining contain plenty of household names and most have championship credibility… except for the ‘98 Houston Astros, of course. The Astros were in action in our Round 4 opening series looking to continue their improbable run into the [...]

With just 8 teams remaining, a quick rundown of who remains, the probable pitching match-ups and which offensive players have been providing the spark to keep these teams alive. Of the 8 teams, only 1 (the ‘98 Astros) did not win a World Series and only the 30s, 60s and the most recent decade (2000s) [...]
