1984 Cubs. Ryno of course, but everyone loved Jody Davis. Broke my 10 year old heart. (Certainly wasn't the last time the Cubs would break my heart.)

I second this! The '84 Cubs were the loosest, most confident team I had even seen and their style of played showed it. Growing up I was a big fan of the Big Red Machine of the early to mid '70's but that 84 Cub team was awesome to watch.

Growing up and being immersed in the sport, I would go with the 81 Dodgers and the 84 Padres. If we are looking historically, then the 55 Dodgers get the nod.

Haha, I guess my ears were burning. That HR off Smith in the 84 NLCS is probably the most exciting moment in sports for me to have watched live (not there, but saw it on TV).

MAn, I hate that guy!

I know there is a huge Garvey fan on the boards but I hate him for what he did to the 84 cubs.

For me it was the worst. I was working for the Cubs at that time and saw my World Series ring fly over the fence when that ball hit by Garvey went over the fence as well. It still hurts over 30 years later. LOL

Maybe you can ease the pain a little by assuming the Cubs would have lost to Detroit anyway, just like the Padres. That was a gut punch for me after the high of the NLCS, but I was just a few years past an exciting championship with the Dodgers in 81.
