	It's going to be the Bronx Bombers and the Atlanta Braves in
the World Series this year. Yankees are finally playing like everybody
expect them to. Last time I checked the stats, they were first in team
hitting and third in HRs. Nettles is back to his old form and hitting
those clutch homers. The pitching is still not quite there yet but good
solid defense is making the life of Yankee pitchers a lot easier. Bench
strength again will play the key role. Baltimore is the only team that
has any chance of challenging the Yanks this year, but the loss of Flan-
nagan makes it tougher. The rest of AL East should make the summer ex-
citing. In the NL side, Joe Torre's troops are simply too much for the
Dodgers who by the way already made 90 errors. With one year of playoff
experience under their belt, the Braves should make it to the Series.
My prediction for this year's World Champion......
