A World Series for the Ages
Baseball beats football for at least one Sunday.
American Spectator, Oct 31, 2017, Larry Thornberry

The current wild and wooly World Series is so entertaining that even Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred can’t mess it up, though he’s trying. Just about everything fans want to see on a baseball field has been featured in this match-up between two vastly talented and evenly matched teams.

There have been pitching duals and slugfests. Pitchers lost control of Sunday night’s bizarre 13-12 marathon, eventually won by Houston, at about the fourth inning. Baseballs were flying out of the field at Minute Maid Park at such a rate that, my sources in Houston tell me, Astros officials were considering, for safety reasons, passing out chest protectors and batting helmets for people sitting in the outfield stands.

Of course, I'll defer to @EasyAce , but.....

IMHO, this World Series needs an asterisk.

It is serving as an 'Ant Farm' for the owners and Baseball Commissioner to study the effects of a "Home Run Derby"/Pinball Wizard on the sport when the seats are full and millions more watching on TV.

Therefore, the entire World Series is tainted and bullshit.

The pitchers have been removed of one of their testicles.   All they can do now is change speeds...because the sinker ain't 'sinkin', and throwing a curve ball is essentially playing Russian Roulette.

Yet, if they go back to the regular season baseballs, they 'admit' tampering with the game during its most hallowed event on a world stage.

It's really quite disgraceful.

And WTF was that strike zone, while we're at it?
