With the Rockies' appearance in the World Series, every National League West team except the Dodgers has played in the Fall Classic over the past decade. The Dodgers last played in the World Series in 1988. The other NL teams not to appear in the World Series since then: Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Montreal/Washington and the Chicago Cubs. Tom Lasorda, who managed the Dodgers to that 1988 World Series championship, turned 80 last month. "I told the Big Dodger in the Sky he's not taking me until I see the pennant flag flying again at Dodger Stadium," Lasorda said here. "He can't take me until we win the world championship of baseball again. Then, I might have to go."
