Ad-free: How to dominate the World Series and lose.
🕑 Added 2025-10-10 16:00:25 +0000 UTCHey pals, a fresh episode of Scattered straight off the press for your eyeballs to enjoy. Hell, maybe even your brain will like this one. Happy baseball postseason to all who celebrate it!
In 1960, the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates squared off in the 57th World Series. The Yanks thoroughly dominated the affair, unleashing an onslaught the likes of which we've never seen before or since. New York scored a whopping 28 more runs in the series than the Buccos, easily the Fall Classic's best run differential ever seen through its first 120 iterations-and-counting.
They had a legend -- Mickey Mantle -- come through with one of the greatest individual performances ever seen in a World Series. They had a, uh, non-legend -- Bobby Richardson -- also come from out of absolutely nowhere to produce one of the greatest individual performances ever seen in a World Series. It was an embarrassment of riches.
And yet somehow, someway, against all odds, those Yankees managed to band together and pull off the Herculean task of … not even winning the series. Uhh, what? Welcome to Scattered.

Alex, I know you mentioned this was coming up next at the SVA theatre, but why do I feel like you waited until exactly when the Yankees were eliminated before releasing it? That's a personal attack, man ...
