Re: Red Sox - Yankees $100,000 bet
[ QUOTE ]
Also, my tablemates said that the Sox winning the Series was foretold in the Back to the Future 2 movie on the cover of a newspaper. [/ QUOTE ] That's just an urban legend. I heard something to the same effect last year. I'm sure you can find the facts on google pretty easily, but I vaguely recall that in the movie, the Cubs beat out a team from Miami to win the world series. Bob

Re: Red Sox - Yankees $100,000 bet
"How many times in baseball had teams been down 3-0 in a series? What about other professional sports? And how many comebacks have their been"
The number of times is not a big enough sample and is not relevant as this series is independent of other series. If the Redsox don't give up and we assume each game with NY is a coin flip, the odds of Bosox winning ALCS is 1/16 so 50-1 to win the world series sounds good to me. I wish I bet my on my Bosox, go Patriots.
