Good morning, Camden Chatters.
After a far-too-long, four-day hiatus, the World Series begins tonight. The upstart Phillies and the juggernaut Astros kick things off in Houston, with Justin Verlander squaring off against Aaron Nola. It’s safe to say that the Phillies, the losingest franchise in major league history, are the sentimental favorites for most baseball fans who haven’t forgiven the Astros for their 2017 transgressions.
I’d have to agree. Even the Trey Mancini factor isn’t enough for me to root for an Astros win. They already won the World Series five years ago, and through shenanigans at that.
