We have just finished two seven-game League Championship Series, the first time that had happened since 2004. The baseball and back-and-forth was generally compelling and, for a moment, took our minds off the fact that the 2020 baseball season was pandemic-shortened and played without fans in attendance, save for some small gatherings at the NLCS in Arlington, Texas.
The World Series begins tomorrow between two worthy teams, the Rays and Dodgers, and we hope we have another week’s worth of compelling baseball before one of them is granted the “piece of metal” by Commissioner Rob Manfred and we put this weird season to bed.
