The Yankees will win it all because they're lucky. And nowadays, with three rounds of playoffs, you gotta have a little luck to win a title.
Lord knows Teddy Ballgame never had a speck of luck. (And, trust me, the streak has continued in this godforsaken place. Hell has frozen over, and I live there.)
I had the bad luck to play for the most racist organization in baseball. So I never got to play with guys like Jackie Robinson or Willie Mays or Larry Doby. The Red Sox didn't integrate until 1959, three years after Jackie Robinson retired. When we finally got a black player, he hit .233 with one home run in 172 at-bats. Pumpsie Green, we hardly knew ye.
