St. Louis Giants v Homestead Grays

Best of seven, Giants with home-field advantage.

• As mentioned in the previous post, this is just the second WS appearance for both clubs and first since 1968, when the Giants won the very first EL title.
• These two groups are really well-matched on both the hitting and pitching fronts, so I am expecting this to be a deep and twisting series.
• Despite being in awe of what the Giants have achieved on a relatively small budget ($5m vs Homestead's $7.2m), it's the Grays in seven for mine.

• For a while there it looks like I've got this totally wrong yet again as the Giants roar out to a 3-0 lead. But then the Grays stage a most amazing comeback to force a decider, which they then take out 3-1 behind a superlative start by Jesse Houston for their maiden EL Championship.
  
• Grays shortstop Damion Easly is named series MVP, although any number of players from either team would have been an equally worthy winner.
