Revisionist Baseball

1975 Season

In 1975 we missed out on a close pennant race between the Athletics and the Red Sox.  Boston swept the Championship Series, but Oakland should have gone to the World Series, having finished with a better record by 2 games.  In the NL, once again Pittsburgh got to play in the Championship Series despite finishing more than 10 games behind the best team in the league.  Again, they lost, this time to Cincinnati, who managed 108 wins in an outstanding season. The Oakland - Cincinnati World Series will be played using Diamond Mind Baseball.
