Okay, a few corrections and points to be made here:
- The Reds beat the Red Sox in '75, not '76. (I see you've since corrected it)
- Somehow I doubt the Indians would have beat the Yankees out for any of the division titles if the played in the AL East for the last 10 years.
- Wells is not a fat ass, he's just big boned.
- Ellis Burks is a classy guy, now, but was a primadona for many of his ML years.
- It's been 86 years between championships for God's team not 87.
- The Braves departed Boston because of a sagging economy and the inability to compete with the Red Sox for the fan base. This scenario is similar to the Indians competing with Disney On Ice during the late 1980's. I am shocked that the Indians held on and weathered that storm.
