Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 2119155, member: 6158"] This is an interesting exchange. 1964 Dodgers (Koufax and Drysdale) beat the vaunted NY Yankees offense four straight. My first experience with great pitching beats great hitting. However, in 1954 the Cleveland Indians had four twenty game winners (Feller, Wynn, Lemon and Garcia) (three hall of famers) and a great bullpen (Mossi and Narleski) and won a record 111 games in a 154 game season. The Yankees won 106 games and lost the pennant by 5 games! Nevertheless, Giants won the series in 5 games. So you could make the case that whoever gets hot and maybe toughness is what ultimately counts. [/QUOTE]
