I can now predict that this year’s world series will have a first-time winner.
The Rangers have never been to the Big Dance, and the Giants, who have been there 18 times and won 5 in their long history, have never won as a team from San Francisco.
Last night the Giants won their fourth NLCS since moving to San Francisco 53 years ago, but their last Series win came when they still played at New York’s Polo Grounds back in 1954.
Two former Astros who were traded to contending teams this season, Lance Berkman with the Yankees and Roy Oswalt with Philadelphia, both acquitted themselves well in post-season play, but neither will be going to the series. Roy O can take some consolation from the fact that his 5-0 in 10 starts record ties him with Orel Hershiser for the most post-season starts without a loss.
