Good thing I am not a betting man. I was right that the WL team would win the World Series, but it was neither the
San Francisco Red Devils nor the
Las Vegas Gamblers, but the 86-76(!)
San Diego Padres that won it all in five. Did not see that one coming. For them, it is the first World Series! Congratulations!
