Welcome to the 3-peat club!

Thanks fam! Still wild I played the same team all 3 World Series

Possibly the greatest run in DSN chise history.

It's been quite a ride. Season 1 was easy. Season 2 was tougher, and Season 3 was even tougher despite getting the crown. All the WS games except one this year were decided by 1 run, with the last 2 going to extra innings.

Oh shit!! What a way to end one of the best chises on this board

HOF Worthy

For real. I took a good bit of pics from the ending and the celebration but I liked the picture I chose the best. You can see the emotion Tyler O'Neill has after hitting the walk off to win the WS. It feels even more impactful when you remember that he has struggled with injuries in this chise and would likely have more awards if he didn't get hurt. So to come back from those struggles and walk off to win the WS was a huge thing to him personally.

Congrats on the triple crown

Thanks, it wasn't something that I thought I was going to do when I started the chise but I'm satisfied with the way it turned out.

And that's the end of this chise. I think I'll probably do one or two more posts where I summarize everything and write some personal thoughts but maybe I save that for the HoF

[Captain Canada]

Can't even hate. That shit is legendary. Congratulations, brother.
