1985 Season

In 1985 the League Championship Series was increased to best-of-seven, but that was no guarantee that the best team would win. The Toronto Blue Jays edged the New York Yankees by two games during the season, but were defeated by the 3rd place Royals in the League Championship Series. The National League fared better -- the Cardinals also edged a New York team, the Mets, but got past third place Los Angeles to progress to the World Series. But we'll be playing a Toronto - St. Louis World Series with Diamond Mind.
