i can't even remember the context but last month a game showed a shot of the Cincinnati Redlegs logo from 1957.

 

The announcer said "gee, i guess the name Reds was chosen a lot closer to today then i ever thought."

 

nobody was around to tell him that was the team name 1953 to 1959 due to the Communist Red scare, Cincy went and changed the team name because of it...

 

sigh.....

Never knew that.

 

So Reds < 1953 && > 1959?

An obvious one, but: The away team wins every game of the World Series.

 

That's a lot of unhappy folks leaving the stadium the past week.

 

The unpredictability of baseball/sports is a big part of the appeal for me. 

 

the oddity didn't soothe the brow of serious Astros fans in my life.

 

usually it goes the other way, a few Stanley Cups ago the Bruins tanked the games in Vancouver and tried and won easily in Boston, for game 7 the Canucks fans were very confident the home team would win, it... was... not.... to.... be.....  :D
