Elephant Rumblings: Dodgers win World Series, off-season begins

Happy Halloween Athletics Nation! Have a wonderful holiday and stay safe while Trick Or Treating tonight, or any other adventures you get into.

The Los Angeles Dodgers finished off their World Series Championship run, ending a World Series that Major League Baseball wanted all along. It didn’t excite the way many thought and hoped after Los Angeles took the first three games. With the history of teams overcoming that deficit in the World Series non-existent, the series felt over after Monday evening when the Dodgers claimed Game 3. The Yankees fought valiantly and won Game 4 to avoid a sweep, then took a huge lead in Game 5.
