It's a florida newspaper, what do you expect them to say? That although it's astounding, the 1969 MIRACLE METS is still the best story ever? No offense, but only faggots in NY think that story is the top.

It's always based on perspective, and worst to first in that state might be the best for THEM.

If you think you're so good at picking the #1 story OP, why don't you work for FSN and help get the Top 50 Sports Bloopers of All Time back in shape. I think the band on the field isn't as good as the bird that got hit with a pitch.

Worst to first has been done plenty of times. The '99 Rams and '01 Patriots, to name a couple.

The Rays would be a great story, but not the greatest.

That said, the article is from the Orlando Sentinel, so of course it'll be biased.

The greatest story in the history of professional sports?

It's a subjective topic to begin with, but this is the kind of shit jinxes are made out of.

I'm not stupid enough to want to rage over what some shithead sports journalist has to say. Sorry. You might get the rest of /sp/ to fall for it. I'd rather make you look like a fool.

This Rays shit isn't surprising at all to me. They're drafting smart and have been building a team to go all the way for a while now.

Well, it would be the first time in the history of MLB that a team with the worst record in the league the previous year won the World Series the next year. Doing something that's never been done in 109 tries, is pretty damn impressive.

by far better, but i wasn't alive in 69 so the rays will be the best to me.

the 2008 rays and the 1969 mets are nearly identical. but the mets did not have the worst recors in the majors in 1968. The rays Did Have the worst record last year and like the 1969 mets had never placed better than second to last in the league. I call it even. And nm my typos, i'm inside the trop right now.

The Rays had the first overall draft pick FOR TEN YEARS IN A FUCKING ROW

It's about fucking time they got their shit together and did something with their bullshit franchise.

But they've had a great farm developing for years, and everyone knew they were gonna be great (maybe not WS great)

Yankees 5-hit combo is the greatest story btw

stop being a dumbass. The rays did not have the #1 overall pick every year. Nor is the #1 pick guaranteed to be a superstar. This isn't the NBA
