That would have been it. The time they lost the series, not the years
they didn't even make it that far. (Can't help where I was raised;
blame the brainwashing I got in my formative years for my hatred of the
Yankees.)

I think that a lot of people were rather peeved at Ford for pardoning
Nixon, but if he hadn't, then everything would have been bogged down for
a long time. Ford thought that the country had to move on again.
That's almost certainly what cost him the election, that pardon. But he
maintains it was the best thing for the country right then.
