1986 World Series


Canada will reign again, for the 3rd straight year, no matter what.


Game 1...Toronto takes a lead on a 3-0 win. Danny Darwin allows 2 hits, strikes out 10.


Game 2...Expos tie it up on a 4-3 win. Galarraga ties the game in the 8th, Expos win in the 9th.


Game 3...Toronto wins 12-9 in a slugfest. It was 11-3 after 4, Montreal nearly came back.


Game 4...Toronto is on the precipice of victory. The game went to extras tied at 4. The Expos score 2 in the top of the 13th to take the lead. Nolan Ryan was on and the Blue Jays scored 3 to walk off with the win. Toronto leads 3-1, heading to Montreal.


Game 5...Blue Jays blast Reuschel for 6 in the 2nd inning and pull ahead with a 10-7 win over the Expos to win the World Series. This 4-1 win for the Blue Jays is similar to 1984, when they won 4-0 over the Dodgers.


Tony Fernandez was the MVP of the Series. In 5 games he batted a team leading .524, with a .583 OBP. He went 11-21 batting.


One last note for the Dodgers before the official end of the season. The team came to terms with Larry Parrish (.257/.321/.419, 3HR, 13 RBI) on a 2yr/1.58M contract extension that will keep him with the team through 1988. How will they use him? Will it be different than he was used, or barely used this year? Who knows. I'm shocked that he wanted to come back, in all honesty.


That's it for 1986. Another year of crushing disappointment in LA, and another title for Canada. Offeseason awards are next.
