Bracket 18: 1966 San Francisco Giants Beat the 1910 Cincinnati Reds 2-1 in the Final to punch their ticket

Willie Mays hit a memorable walk-off grand slam in game 1 to help push the Giants to the bracket championship.

Paul Schaal was MVP of the series

Paul Schaal?! I have no words. Looking at the MVP list, it's like that kids' game of "one of these things is not like the others". Paul Schaal.

Super curious how you came up with the rankings and if you have a mega list of all the teams and their starting ranks? I'm so glad I just stumbled into this thread today!

I ranked the teams simply by their Regular Season Winning Pct. and then by run differential to try and separate the larger packs.

I have an excel spreadsheet which I call my "Bash Bible" which has the tournament brackets and entire team list along with game opponents and other useful info. I will share this at some point

Yeah, in fairness though, the mvp only has to have a great 2 or three game stretch as it is best of three

The !972 Cincinnati Reds Have Swept the 1920 New York Yankees to Capture Bracket 19! Johnny Bench was MVP

I'm still checking in and enjoying this very much. Never really a Reds fan but always enjoyed watching Bench play.

Uhhh.....

It's been 6 days since the last post (which wasn't even an update.) Some of us are extremely invested in reading the updates of this incredible tournament. Silvam....I know you have done a TON for this community, but this feels like a really big tease right now. MIMICKING MY WIFE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!! So....I'll say to you what I seem to always say to her. Give it up already. We have waited patiently long enough. If we can't get satisfaction from you, we may be forced to look elsewhere for it, but please believe that this is where I really want to get it from.

Oh......and thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Keep up the good work.
