What was the general vibe in '85? I know people have said it wasn't their greatest team, but my guess would be fans would have been pretty disappointed had they not won the World Series that year, at least once they got there? I mean, they had done everything else in recent years... finally beat the Yankees and made it to the WS in '80, back to the ALCS the previous season, they really had nothing else to accomplish at that point.
Regardless (and not to compare the two), I was thinking about the thread asking if Royals fans would be disappointed if they didn't win the WS this year, and the comment below on "bitterly disappointed" and those I've read/heard say not winning the WS will diminish what they've done, and I just can't see it that way. This has been ****ing amazing and if they don't win this next series, I'm never looking back on this as "those two years they couldn't win a World Series." That's not how sports work.
Like George said, enjoy every minute of it.... if you're not, you're doing it wrong.
