    2012 World Series

    The Detroit Tigers vs. ???? after their dominating 4-0 sweep of the NY Yankees, drubbing them 8-1 in tonights final game.

    This is only the 5th best-of-seven series where one team never held a lead. They join the 2004 St. Louis Cardinals, 1989 San Francisco Giants, 1966 Los Angeles Dodgers, and the 1963 Yankees.

    Yup, the NY Yankees are the only team to make the list twice.

            The organization is still around, though as of the 2005 season they play as the Washington DC Nationals.

            This year the Nationals were 98-64, first in NL East..

              The San Francisco Giants beat the St Louis Cardinals 9-0 in game 7 of the National League Championship Series, so they'll challenge the Detroit Tigers.

              Should be fun

                  If the Tiger's Verlander, Fister, Cabrera, Fielder etc. play well it could be.
