This day in Baseball….
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On October 25 in Baseball History...

* 1911 - Fred Merkle's 10th-inning sacrifice fly scored Larry Doyle to give the New York Giants a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series. The victory cut the A's lead in the Series to 3-2.

* 1955 - Baseball great Branch Rickey steps down as GM of the Pirates and moves into an advisory role. Joe L. Brown, son of the actor, replaces him.

* 1973 - The Cubs trade six-time 20-game winner Ferguson Jenkins to the Rangers for third baseman Bill Madlock and utility man Vic Harris. Meanwhile, San Francisco trades three-time home run champion Willie McCovey, a Giant since 1959, together with a minor leaguer to the Padres for pitcher Mike Caldwell.

* 1978 - Gaylord Perry becomes the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues. Perry cops the NL honor with a 21-6 record and a 2.72 ERA for the Padres.

* 1981 - Steve Yeager and Pedro Guerrero hit consecutive homers in the seventh inning, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees in the World Series.

* 1985 - The Angels announce that they will not offer seven-time batting champion Rod Carew a new contract for the 1986 season, effectively ending his 19-year career. Carew finishes with 3,053 hits and a .328 career batting average.

* 1986 - The New York Mets rallied for three runs with two outs in the 10th inning against the Boston Red Sox to win 6-5 and push the World Series to a decisive seventh game. The tie-breaking run scored on Boston first baseman Bill Buckner's error on Mookie Wilson's slow grounder.

* 1987 - The Minnesota Twins, behind Frank Viola, won their first World Series championship, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 in Game 7.

* 1995 - Steve Avery throws six innings of three-hit baseball and Pedro Borbon Jr. comes out of the bullpen for his first appearance in 19 days to save Atlanta's 5-2 win in Game Four.

* 1996 - Frank Torre, the brother of Yankee manager Joe Torre, receives a heart transplant after months of waiting. Frank was a recipient of a World Series ring as a member of the Milwaukee Braves when they beat the Yankees in 1957 -- and his brother Joe will make him a gift of a World Series ring that's 39 years newer after Game Six.

* 1997 - Chad Ogea gets two hits, drives in two runs and scores another while also earning the win. The Indians force a seventh game with the 4-1 win over the Marlins.

Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders

The Islanders are 0-2 since starting goalie Rick DiPietro returned from injury, but the two losses are hardly his fault. New York’s main problem is a minimally-talented group of defenseman.

“We’re asking a lot of our penalty killers every night,” winger Bill Guerin told the New York Post after losing 5-3 to the Dallas Stars on Thursday. “It’s not easy to do. It’s a problem we’re going to have to address.”

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes are coming off a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pens were outplaying the Canes for the better part of the game but Carolina still took a 1-0 lead into the third period. Pittsburgh opened the floodgates with four goals in the final 20 minutes en route to a 4-1 home win.

With a strong group of leaders like captain Rod Brind’Amour in Carolina’s locker room, the Canes should out motivated and finish on top of the lowly Isles.

Pick: Hurricanes -130


Edmonton Oilers at Vancouver Canucks

Both of these Canadian clubs have had a rash of bad news recently.

The Canucks are shuffling their forward lines after losing high-priced free agent Pavol Demitra for a month. They called up Jason Krog and Kyle Wellwood to try to improve on a power play that’s converted just one of 11 opportunities.

As for the Oilers, they dropped their last two games after winning their first four. Goalie Mathieu Garon had his first poor performance of the season allowing four goals Thursday night against Colorado.

Edmonton beat writers described the Oilers as a tired group after arriving in Denver late Wednesday night from Chicago.

Garon should bounce back with a solid outing and goals are always hard to come by when Vancouver’s Roberto Luongo is between the pipes.

Pick: Under 5.5
