Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates

This puzzle is for all those baseball fanatics out there. I am just fascinated by all the history that has been made in baseball ever since baseball first became a sport. And if you are as big of a baseball fan as I am, then you will absolutely love this series. To get the final coordinates, you must answer the following questions.

N 37° 49.ABC W 122° 00.DEF

A = What was the only game that the Oakland A's won during the 1988 World Series?

B = After winning the 1988 World Series, Dodgers Manager Tommy Lasorda continued to manage the team until 1996. How many more World Series would he go on to win?

C = As one half of the infamous Bash Brothers, Jose Canseco had a memorable, albeit enhanced, 1988 regular season. As the founding member of the 40-40 club he lead the Majors with 42 Home runs. Though he only had one Home Run during the 1998 World Series, it was impressive and scored this many runs.

D = What game saw this memorable moment?

E = How many games were played during the 1988 World Series?

F = Besides earning the series MVP, this Dodger legend had an incredible 1988 season. Among his many record breaking and league leading accomplishments he led the Majors with how many shutouts during the 1988 regular season?
