5. This saddens me, even as a 60-year Dodgers fan

I remember three -club pennant races with the Giants and San Diego. I'd halve two radios going, one of which was locked on the Dodgers station (I fine-tuned it and then removed the knob) and the other going back and forth between the Giants' and Padres' stations. If two if the three were playing each other, that made it all the easier to follow.

It was the greatest time a fan can have, unless they're one of those cretins who wants to clinch by Sept. 1, 15 games in front.

The year that San Diego lost 10 games to put the Giants in playoffs? They took the title that year. 2010? usonian Aug 15 #6

No, this was in the early '80s (n.t.) Oeditpus Rex Saturday #7
