We only had two full days without baseball, but they felt a lot longer. Regardless, the gap ends tonight as the Braves and Astros kick off the 117th edition of the World Series. Game 1 will be at Minute Maid Park in Houston; the Astros will aim for their second World Series title in five years (perhaps the first without cheating) while the Braves will try to notch just the franchise’s second championship since moving to Atlanta in 1966. It’s been 26 years since Mark Wohlers closed out the Braves’ lone title in Atlanta, and it came 361 days before a different Wohlers pitch launched a better dynasty.
