(Theoretically, you’ll vote based on the summaries, not on recency bias or nostalgia or such.) After you vote, you get to comment. (This is about your opinions, not mine.) I’ve concentrated on the actual gameplay, but I do note some other narratives that affect how the games would have been seen by contemporary fans.Īfter I’m done, you get to vote. I held myself to an exact total of 800 words apiece (or something very close to it), so I wouldn’t bias you by inadvertently writing longer about a game I found more compelling. Four minutes of the 1924 game were recently unearthed.) To put them on a level playing field, I will give summaries below of each of the games. We cannot re-watch all six candidate games in the same detail, mainly because we cannot watch the earliest two at all. So I’m posing it here: Which great all-the-marbles game was the greatest? Now that the initial glow of the recent Series has dimmed, I thought I’d like to see what fans, or the subset of fans who read The Hardball Times, think of the question. The theoretically objective WPS numbers do pick one of those games as the best, but that certainly isn’t definitive.
