The last exciting World Series took place in 2001. It played out dramatically and ended heartbreakingly. The Yankees -- sentimental favorites in the fall of 2001, even among Yankee-haters -- fought back from a 2-0 deficit to forge a 3-2 lead, then lost it all in the bottom of the ninth inning of the seventh game.
No Series since has gone to seven games. Even if this year's Series does, relatively few will care. The Phillies vs. the Rays. Blah!
