I remember the real life opening series against St Louis in 1969. When the schedules were release I didn't like it. Opening the season against the defending NL champs. I knew the Pirates were better but still didn't see them standing up against the Cards.

Anyway after dark I could get KDKA in Indy and I listened until I fell asleep. I had to go to school the next day. The game went extra innings. Next morning I heard the Bucs had won.

And then they won the next two! With rookies everywhere. Sanguillen, Oliver, Hebner.
