Significance of The 1988 World Series between A's & Dodgers....

[daggerkobe]

Probably the last time a clean team faced a juiced team in the World Series.

A's were full of roided out Canseco, McGwire, etc....

Dodgers were full of has-beens, nobodies and just sheer hustlers like Gibson, Hatcher and Dempsey....

The good guys prevailed over the evil roiders 4-1.

What a great year for me as a kid from Southern California. Watching the Lakers and Dodgers both win titles made my year.

Matt Williams admitted to purchasing steroids so any team he's been on has been tarnished.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Mitchell was on roids, he definitely had some roid rage. He once decapitated a cat..

I saw Mitchell catch a flyball with his bare hand once.... he must've been on something to do that.
