        "description": "Thornton Fisher presents his takeaways from the World Series between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees. Fisher believed the Giants had more drive and took more risks than the Yankees, helping the Giants win the series. Fisher thought that Babe Ruth had been a disappointment in 1922 and that fans had turned on him. Fisher congratulated pitcher Jack Scott on a surprisingly great performance after being released by the Cincinnatti Reds earlier in the year. However, Fisher warned that next year, the Giants might not be as good.",

Counihan noted how multiple Giants players had done well and created iconic moments. Counihan also ranked a baserunning error by Yankee Whitey Witt as being one of the worst of all time. He considered it amongst a failed run down by Giant Heinie Zimmerman in the 1917 World Series between the Giants and the Chicago White Sox. Counihan also made fun of Babe Ruth's failings in the series.",
