Haggs made a comment on the Blog a few days ago where he stated there is no way the 1990 Team would have beat our 1992 Team. And I agree. But I will say this….if the 1992 Team went into that game against the 1990 Team thinking they were gonna blow them out, or it was going to be an easy win…..well then the 1990 Team COULD HAVE pulled off another miracle.
But since I would have also been coaching the 1992 Team…I wouldn’t have allowed the 1992 Team to go into that game taking the 1990 Team “too lightly.” And I’m sure Hank would have been battling hard! Plus Hank would have been coaching one Team and playing for another. Same with Weapon!
It would have been a great game, though. And it would have been interesting to see how I coached against myself.
And it would have been interesting to hear all of the ragging!
But with Canale on the field playing against Canale………and Turner on the field playing against Turner……which Team would have gotten in the better rags?
I do agree with you Haggs…..1990 probably doesn’t beat the 1992 squad. But if ’92 wins…Hank battles to his death. If ’90 wins….Hank would never let you guys hear the end of it!
Still, that ’92 Team was pretty damn scary. Imagine if we won that last playoff game. We would have had a two-week break, Evans would have had the cast removed from his arm, and God only knows what that Team would have done.
The team that won the Legion World Series that year beat Fat Jody 8-7 in the area playoffs. And we took two out of three from Fat Jody that year. I know this…….we would have fought that team harder than Fat Jody’s squad. I’ve stayed awake many a night for the last nineteen years thinking about how fucking close we came………….
The ’92 Squad…wow….they had it all. But let’s not forget one of the most important things that ’92 squad carried with them, something that watched over them through the entire season………The Ghost of the 1990 team!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhh VERDUGO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhh…that is why we might have to have some “friendly” competition going on! Whiffle Ball….beer pong…horse shoes….something we can talk shit about!
1990 v 1992….wow! Talent wise, nobody beats 1992… but the “powers” that be. If they dont strip players from us, we win state that year.
The ONLY factor for 1990 was the Burbank Boys! Insert Chandler, guy was on fire, plus lefty, so Moreno is already on the bench. (you could throw a softball underhand to Moreno, and if it was from your LEFT hand, he couldnt hit it!). Also, if my memory serves me right, didnt the Burbank guys have to go as well due to rules??? SO lets say you happen to get by Chandler…dude, Chili’s crap was insanse too! I think we beat Encino, with Fullmer, Russ Ortiz etc, at their yard, with Chili on the mound. His ball had so much natural movement, I couldnt catch the god damn ball when he picked to first that game. Dude was like Mariano Rivera….everything moved.
Now the ragging…defintely won by 1992. Here is why. I never had to rag that year. We had the BEST raggers ususally on our bench! Dont get me wrong, I had my fair share of rags, but our bench DESTROYED people. THAT WAS THEIR PLAYING TIME!!!
After all is said and done, on paper and with reason, 1992 wins….but you never know what the power of “anger” can do, and in 1990…everyone had an axe to grind for some reason or another that year. Or, just as Gee’s midnight radio show was so aptly named, “Get Angry”.
An angry Bull always worked harder than a content one! So, my dollar is on 1992…but the 1990 team had plenty of motive to put a hurt on someone!
’92 also had the Nuclear Bomb of raggers……..Wiley Jackson!
i still get fired up thinking about losing that final game — those guys were nothing, but we were just beaten down and didn’t seem to have the fight to pull it out — 2 weeks off??? — i didn’t know about that — it just got a little tougher to remember that day
could you imagine the attitude, the swagger . . . in the big playoff games? — comin’ in and just spittin’ venom and kickin’ ass . . . that type of trash isn’t supposed to make it that far — it would’ve made it all the sweeter
there is no ’92 with ’90 and ’91 — those guys taught us and we passed it along
