LOS ANGELES -- In an incredible Game 2, it took Houston's superstar trio to finally take down a Dodgers bullpen anchored by the best closer in the game. This star-powered thriller came one night after Los Angeles rode the best pitcher on the planet to a World Series-opening victory. If this seems like an especially star-studded World Series, it's because it is a star-studded World Series. We have Cy Young winners, MVP candidates and as many as nine future Hall of Famers.
That wouldn't be a record -- the 1932 World Series between the Yankees and Cubs featured 13 Hall of Famers, including two guys named Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig -- but it would be the most for a World Series since 1950 and a radical departure from some recent matchups.
