1962 New York Mets. You could probably put the 1973 Phillies in that category, also. And then there were the Giants and Eagles in the late 1970's with the Joe Piscargik game.

The St. Louis Browns were a show that beat everyone else.

"Pisarcik has already proven he can win for the Eagles. Unfortunately, he was playing for the Giants at the time."

Oregon is pretty generous with its voter pamphlet. If you're on the ballot, you get a column that covers half the page. The format is candidate picture next to name in large bold type, and (I think) the office the candidate is up for. The rest of the column can be filled pretty much as the candidate wants.

For years, we had a husband-and-wife pair of nutjobs who would file to run for all kinds of offices. Jack and Sherry Reynolds would fill their candidate column with the wonders of a personal relationship with Jesus, chock full of bible citations about accepting Jesus into your heart. They never won anything, that I recall, and most folks just put up with it. The Reynoldses probably thought they were striking a blow against the separation of church and state with their state-sanctioned and -published god bothering, but most people just ignored them.

But if dingbats like Jack and Sherry could figure it out, it means the Kasich campaign is even more inept than they were. And Kasich is what passes for the first choice among the Republican establishment this election cycle.
