A lot of weird stuff happened in this World Series. But when did each of these strange events happen last in the Fall Classic? 7 questions, one for each game:
1. What was the last team before Game 4 to win a game when they were trailing by 2 runs in their potential last at-bat?
1986 Mets, Game 6, 10th inning vs. Boston (KENMonteSS86)
2. Who was the last pitcher before Randy Johnson to win both Games 6 and 7 in the same Series?
3. The Yankees are 155-2 all time in the postseason when leading after 8 innings. One of the losses was last night. When was the other one, and what were the unusual circumstances?
1947 WS Game 4 vs. Brooklyn; Bill Bevens lost it on his first hit of the game (KENMonteSS86)
4. What was the last team before Game 6 to score 15 runs in a WS game?
5. When was the last time that multiple MVP awards were given in the WS?
1981: Ron Cey, Steve Yeager, and Pedro Guerrero (#1YankeeLover)
6. When was the last team the home team won every game in the Series?
1991: Minnesota 4, Atlanta 3 (#1YankeeLover)
7. What was the last World Series with 3 blown saves?

OK, not in the mood of thinking here, so just going to rattle off a couple of quick tries . . .

#3 was a 10-9 final I think, give me a few minutes and the exact year will come to mind . . .

#5 was in 1981 . . . for the Dodgers, Ron Cey, Steve Yeager, and Pedro Guerrero

#6 was 1991 . . . Twins won 4-3 (over the Braves, I think?) . . .

I really need sleep . . .

# 1 -- The '86 Mets in Game 6

# 3 -- 1947 Game 7: Bevins was pitching a no-hitter, but lost it on a double and lost the game, 2-1
