I think the thing I miss most is the box scores and miscellaneous “fine print” like who was traded or injured.
I vote @VolPack22 start posting daily box scores, trade/transaction, injury updates and miscellaneous stat highlights for the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL and college football, baseball and basketball, along with his “today in baseball” post.

Is that asking too much?

  • 1914- The Boston Braves completed a sweep of the Philadelphia Athletics, first in World Series history, with a 3-1 victory.

  • 1915- The Phillies get four runs early off Red Sox hurler Rube Foster in Game Five. The Red Sox break a tie in the ninth inning for the third time in the World Series, as reliever Eppa Rixey gives up Harry Hooper's second home run of the game and Boston wins 5-4 to take the Series in five.

  • 1921- Art Nehf tossed a 1-0, four-hitter against the New York Yankees for the World Series title in eight games. The Giants scored their run in the first inning on an error by shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh.

  • 1960- Bill Mazeroski opened the bottom of the ninth with a home run off Ralph Terry of the Yankees to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 10-9 victory and the World Series in seven games.

  • 1965- Jim "Mudcat" Grant does it all himself, hitting a three-run home run and pitching a 5-1 win at Minnesota to knot the World Series with the Dodgers after six games.

  • 1970- The Orioles win their third straight over the Reds, 9-3, with winning pitcher Dave McNally slugging a grand slam. Frank Robinson and Don Buford also contribute homers and third baseman Brooks Robinson continues his excellence with the glove as he makes two spectacular grabs in the field.

  • 1971 - The first World Series night game was played in Pittsburgh with the Pirates beating Baltimore 4-3. Roberto Clemente had three hits for Pittsburgh.
  • 1973- The Mets hold the A's to four hits in the World Series opener, but three of those hits come in the two-run third inning as the A's win 2-1.

  • 1974- Los Angeles, behind Don Sutton, evens the Series with a 3-2 win. The Dodgers score in the second off Vida Blue, and a two-run home run by Joe Ferguson in the sixth provides the winning margin.

  • 1978- New York third baseman Graig Nettles put on a fielding clinic and prevented seven runs as the Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in the third game of the World Series. Nettles made four spectacular stops and gave the Yankees the first victory of the series.

  • 1985- The Cardinals rout the Dodgers, 12-2, to even the NLCS. The Cards, however, lose rookie sensation Vince Coleman to one of the more bizarre injuries in major-league history.

He does not play again in 1985.
