World Series Game Six: Yama-Ween
You know, it's always special when the World Series lands on Halloween. It was 24 years ago on Halloween that Derek Jeter hit his famous walk-off in Game Four of that year's World Series, earning him the "Mr. November" nickname due to the fact that it was past midnight on November 1 in New York when he homered. 2009's World Series saw Game 3 take place on Halloween, with A-Rod homering in that game. The current schedule in recent years pretty much guarantees that the Fall Classic will land on Halloween and even enter the month of November, and this year was no exception.

Their One Shining Baseball Moment Is Within Their Reach
Rookie pitcher Troy Yesavage (pictured above) had the most outstanding performance of his career Wednesday night, going against Blake Snell, who thought he was going to be untouchable during the duration of the Postseason. He made World Series history by recording an incredible 12 strikeouts, which is a new record for a rookie in a Fall Classic. Also, he made Postseason history for becoming the first rookie to strike out 10 batters or more in multiple games. The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 in Game 5. Now, they're just one win away from capturing their first World Series title since 1993. 22-year-old Yesavage made his MLB debut in mid-September after being drafted last season. He has a bright future with the Blue Jays moving forward. Game 6 will return to Toronto on Friday night, meaning that they have two more chances to clinch a World Series title. Kevin Gausman will take the mound, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers is expected to start.
