From Peter Schilling Jr. at Mudville Magazine, Oct. 1: Another reason I love baseball: my favorite part of the Fox broadcast was this little number trotted out in the sixth inning. Apparently, Kerry Wood’s two-run double was the first time that a Cubs pitcher drove in a winning run in the postseason since Orval Overall did it in the ’07 Series. I’m not even going to pretend that any other sport cares a whit about ANYTHING in 1907, much less whether a player duplicated a feat some 96 years later. And that name! Basketball can keep its Shaqs, I'll take Orval Overall any day. Hats off to the unheralded, underpaid, and probably underfed minions at the Fox research department for that one.

Much as I appreciate David Ortiz, I must say Kerry Wood's two-run double in support of his own two-hit pitching was as eloquent a statement as any against the abominable DH rule.

And now, everyone join in with Harry: Cubs win! How about them Cubbies? (Via the Harry Caray Tribute Page)

And hey, holy mackerel: Bill White offers a chorus of the '69 Cubs fight song.

Actually, with all the attention being paid to a possible Sox-Cubs Series, little has been paid to the potential cosmic significance of Sox-Braves: Reparation for 1948?

In the Daytona Beach News-Journal, a member of the old Braves Field Knothole Gang waxes nostalgic for the Boston NL entry.

Meantime, a Sox-Giants series would see a rematch of the 1912 Fall Classic remembered for Snodgrass' Muff.

And the legacy of the Royal Rooters and "Tessie" is highlighted in today's Globe.
