1953 - Red Barber ...<b>October 28 in Baseball History</b><br /><br />1953 - Red Barber resigns from the Brooklyn Dodgers broadcast booth and takes a job with the rival New York Yankees. (That must have been huge news!)<br /><br />1965 - Walter Barbare, an infielder who played for the 1918 Red Sox, dies at age 74.<br /><br />1981 - The Dodgers complete a World Series comeback, defeating the Yankees, 9-2, in Game 6. The Dodgers had trailed two games to none before winning four straight games. <br /><br />1989 - The Athletics sweep the Giants. Dave Stewart is named MVP after winning the first and third games of the series, which was interrupted by an earthquake.<br /><br />2004 - While likely waking up seriously hungover from celebrating their team's first World Series title in 86 years the night before, Red Sox fans were still ridiculously happy.<br /><br />2007 - The Red Sox win their second championship of the decade, with a sweep of the Rockies. (Colorado had won 21 of 22 games entering the series.)<br /><br />2013 - The Red Sox take a 3-2 lead in the World Series with a win over the Cardinals. David Ortiz gets three hits to increase his batting average for the series to .733.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
