1963 Los Angeles Dodgers (#64) 4, 1909 Pittsburgh Pirates (#1) 2
MVP: Sandy Koufax (LAD 1963) 2-1, 0.75 ERA, 24.0 IP, 20 K, 1 BB, 13 HA
If there was good evidence that my ranking system is flawed, or conversely that any team can win, this was it. The #1 seed has already gone down, and it seemed pretty easy, despite going 6 games. While the Pirates did manage to beat MVP Sandy Koufax in Game 1, he only allowed 1 earned run. Game 2 was a pitchers' duel until the Dodgers played small ball to score 4 in the 11th. The Dodgers never trailed in Game 3, but the Pirates came back from a 2-1 deficit in Game 4 by scoring 2 in the 9th with a 2-RBI double by George Gibson. That would be the last time the Pirates would smile, as Johnny Podres threw a 2-hit shutout against them in Game 5, and Koufax and L.A. controlled Game 6 from start to finish.
Scores:
Pit 3 LAD 1
LAD 5 Pit 1 (11)
LAD 3 Pit 1
Pit 3 LAD 2
LAD 3 Pit 0
LAD 4 Pit 2
The 1963 Dodgers' next opponent will be the winner of the 1996 Yankees / 1984 Tigers matchup.
