Never (since 1908) have both the home states of Presidential candidates and World Series participants been the same.
Does this mean there is no chance for a Houston Astros vs. Boston Red Sox series?
And, only nine (9) times out of the twenty-four (24) times World Series & Elections coincided has even 1 team been from a candidate's State.
So what are the chances that neither Houston nor Boston will be in the Series?

Hey, I know it's not earth-shattering, but the "nuances" are overwhelming

I think the threat of a World Series is greatly exaggerated.

One thing I don't like is that the Yankees have not won a championship during a Republican presidency since 1958. And only six of their 26 championships have come under Republicans. That number is way out of alignment.

I'd be stuned. At least with Houston in there, we'd get to see Barbara and Poppy Bush behind the plate every home game.

Actually, the thought of the Sox winning the serious in 7 means that all of New England would still be too drunk or hungover on Nov. 2 to go vote.

It would seem Boston has a thing for the letter "F". Aaron F'ing Boone.. John F'ing Kerry, Bucky F'ing Dent...
What gives?

Last month, while Edwards was campaigning in Wisconsin, he said that the winner of Washington vs. Green Bay (10/31/04 @ Wash) has been an indicator in who wins the presidency for the past 30 years.
According to Edwards, the history has been that if the winner is the Redskins, a Republican wins the White House, while if the Packers come out on top, a 'rat gets sworn in.

OK, here is one for you:
Everytime the Red Sox have won the World Serious, a Democrat was President.
Damn, and I love the sawx. Well, as one already said, we won't have to worry about that this year.

well, if that's what Edwards said...then as usual, he has it WRONG! It has actually been longer than 30 years...and it isn't specific to party - rather a win for the 'skins means a win for the incumbent....here's a link

hmmm. And Kerry was born in Colorado.
OK, I'll take your premise as meaning where they are running/ran for president from. :)

What will be overwhelming is how badly the Yankees will kick the Red Sock butts.

I didn't want to bring him up cause I still feel sorry for that guy. He had bad ankles at the time and supposedly should not have been out there.
