A World Series without the Houston Astros...are you sure about that?

This Friday, baseball commences the latest edition of the Fall Classic. After 7 months of a grueling regular season and one month of manic playoff baseball, we arrive at the World Series. For MLB, they got the dream matchup of the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The presumptive MVPs from each league face off, along with the two largest media markets and two rabid fanbases who long for another of their “rightful” championships. Subplots o’ plenty, and perhaps, the promise of actual, decent ratings...might even draw more than the University of Texas/Vanderbilt football tilt...maybe.

Yet, amid the joy of Manfred getting his dream matchup, there is the shadow of another team in this World Series.
