408.0. "Lost in Space/Red Sox 1986 future history reference" by CAVEAT::WOLFE (Lee Wolfe) Mon Oct 27 1986 12:50

    	Can anyone confirm this?
    
    	This morning on WAAF, (a Worcester Ma. FM Rock station), a 
    listener phoned in to say that he had an undisputable source which
    said the RED SOX would win the series.  
    
    	The caller said that on an episode of 'LOST_IN_SPACE' there
    was a story line in which young 'Will Robininson' had to prove that
    he really was from Earth.  The question posed to young Will to
    authenticate his Earthly origins was; "Who won the 1986 World Series?"
    To which he replied "The Boston Red Sox!"
    
    	IS THIS TRUE ?!?  What was the name of the episode?

    	I don't know about the LOST IN SPACE reference, but in an episode
    of SPACE: 1999, The people on Moonbase Alpha were contacted by people
    from Earth in the 22nd Century.  Commander Koenig wanted proof of
    their origin, and asked them who won the *1998* World Series, to
    which they replied the Red Sox.
    
    	If they lose tonight (Heaven forbid!), will we really have to
    wait another twelve years??

    They mentioned the LOST IN SPACE reference on the news Monday
    evening. I wouldn't be surprised if it was true (truth is always
    stranger than fiction), but I have no idea which episode it was.

    Science fiction all the way.
    We will wait the 12 years and will be disappointed again.

    	Science Fiction allright, the emphasis is on the word *FICTION*.
    
    	Maybe I should have watched Lost_In_Space instead?

    	Once again, LOST IN SPACE - as usual - is inaccurate.

        I'm glad I wasn't in Will Robinson's shoes.
    
    Him: Who won the 1986 world series?
    Me : I dunno, I don't follow baseball!
    Him: OK then who won the 86 Super Bowl?
    Me : I dunno, I don't follow football!
    Him: Hmmm! Who won the 1986 Stanley Cup?
    Me : I dunno I don't follow hockey!!
    
        I watched Life Force on HBO instead. Around the time the Sox
    started losing the movie came on. Maybe the alien vampires were
    sucking energy from the Sox as the movie was being shown. :-)
