What WS had the most since division play stared in 1969? Why do I always forget about the Phillies being in the World Series in 83....I was going to say someone vs the Reds but wasn't going to say Phillies like Rico did. That beats my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the O's beat the Philadelphia Reds. You would have had Morgan, Perez, Schmidt, Carlton, Ripken, Murray, and Palmer. So that is 7, unless I am missing someone. Great going!There was another series that had 7 as well though...more recent... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that damn song ("it's slinky, it's slinky that wonderful, wonderful toy!") that made me guess that. In my head 55 years later... I figured out quickly Slinky was good for 3 tricks: Stair walking, the hand tumble, and seeing how far you and a friend could stretch it... 3rd trick usually ended the fun... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe he batted over .300 both years he was in Cincy. At the time, according to Marty, it was view as a bad trade for the Redlegs.
