A great section of games with the standout performance of Babe Ruth eclipsing everything we have witnessed so far. The performance of the Bambino, especially in game 6 pf the series against the 1940 Reds. Ruth drove in 10 runs and hit two mammoth home runs. He finished the series with 20 RBI, setting the standard for every other series played. In the meantime his 1920 Yankees move on.

The champion 2000 Yankees also got the job done. They fly past the 1939 White Sox with Bernie Williams reminding everyone how good he was. The 1934 Yankee team with an aged Babe Ruth defeated the high profile 1971 Athletics in six game as New York had a man named Gehrig outproducing Reggie and the rest of the pre dynasty A's. The Yankees finally lost as the 1992 club faced off against the champion 1957 Braves who seem to enjoy beating New York. Hank Aaron lead the way as the Braves won in six.

Teams that felt curses saw no redemption in this section. Both the 1991 Pittsburgh Pirates and the infamous 1964 Phillies saw their field of dreams journey come to an end. The 1964 Phillies were shutdown by the 1908 Cubs and their dominant pitching. Jim Leyland and the Pirates went to seven games with the 1942 White Sox but lost in the most dramatic of ways, a six hour 15 inning marathon. Another upset was the 1982 Indians who took out the 2011 Brewers showing that early 1980's baseball in Cleveland was not all that bad.

The modern 2022 Orioles overcame the 2017 Diamondbacks while the 2013 version of the Arizona team had no problems with the 1916 Pirates lead by a 42 year old Honus Wagner. Paul Godschmidt hit over .500 in the series including two home runs in the clinching game. The 1917 Cardinals lead by a 19 year old Rogers Hornsby move on against a modern day Texas Rangers team. Finally Ty Cobb and the 1906 Tigers were shocked by the 1962 Cubs as Chicago starter Glen Hobbie pitched a 13 inning complete game to clinch game six.
