Sports: Different Semi-Finals winners

[Corjomc]

What would the finals be like in a given sport and year if the winners in the semi-finals were both different

First off Major League Basbell 1985

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Royals

The LA Dodgers beat the Cardinals

It's Toronto's first time in the World Series and the first Canadian team in the Series.

Does Bobby Cox stay in Toronto after '85?

Meanwhile the Dodgers go for ring number 6.

Will Fernandomania make one last show of it?

Will Hershiser do his thing 3 years earlier?

Who wins this contest?

What oher contests would folks think would be interesting?

The Blue Jays win this WS in six games. They had a better team.

Winning one seven years earlier may change the future of the Jays (for example, no WS titles in the early-90's), but the Dodgers' future remains pretty much the same.

 

[Corjomc]

I agree, Unless the Dodgers have an earlier Kirk Gibson moment in their pockets the Jays take it.

Does Bobby Cox stay up North and preside over the Canadian dynasty?

next up
NFL 1996
The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Patriots
Carolina Panthers beat the Packers

Jacksonville is just too much to handle after beating AFC favorite Denver and Elway and that momentum propels them to the big game.

Kerry Collins and his team knock off the dying Cowboys dynasty and smackdown the NFL Golden Boy in Green to punch their ticket to the big game.

Now it's two teams both in only their second year of existence going for it all.

Who wins the "Expansion Superbowl"?
