Fox Forecasted Freese Final

Do you believe in conspiracies?

 

During last night's broadcast, the Fox trivia question was "How many times has game 6 in the World Series ended with a home run?" The answer was three. The Red Sox in 1975, the Twins in 1991, and the Blue Jays in 1993 would have been all you needed to win that trivia question.

 

In 1975, Carlton Fisk hit a memorable shot in game 6. Fisk was from New England, playing for his local team. But the Red Sox lost the World Series to the Reds. Fisk has called that series the one the Sox won 3 games to 4. Some people remember that game, but forgot that Boston did not win.  

 

Kirby Puckett hit a game 6 winner in 1991. Jack Buck had a memorable call "We will see you tomorrow night". That game 7 was won by the Twins, 1-0 in 10 innings. It was one of the most memorable World Series in history.

 

Joe Carter hit his game 6 winner in '93. There was no game 7 because Toronto won the Series with the homer. It was only the second time that a World Series ended with a home run, the other was Bill Mazeroski in Pittsburgh in 1960.

 

Last night, David Freese changed the trivia question. After dropping a routine pop up early in the game, he was one strike away from the season ending when he tripled in two runs in the 9th. He came back to win the game with his homer in the 11th. Like Fisk, Freese is playing for his hometown team. He won the NLCS MVP, and could have a chance to win MVP for the World Series as well.
