729.0. "Coincidental Appropriateness" by WR1FOR::ADELMAN_AA (Money talks, mine says goodbye) Fri Oct 20 1989 02:28

  
    An example can be found when refering to the 1989 World Series
    between The Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giant's.  
    
    
    
                          b A's eball
    
    
    *The A's have dominated the Series thus far.  
    
    
    
    
    Can anyone think of any other appropriate coincidences?

    G'day,
    
    According to a radio station here in Sydney, the DALY NEWS from Daly nr
    SF  had the headline
    
     Local derby to create earthquake  ... (or somesuch)
    
    The article went on to comment that 
    " All the makings here of a local derby, the only thing missing is an
    earthquake"  (again or something like)
    
    _THIS_ would have to be Coincidental Appropriateness, if anything is...
