The 
actual World Series may have been between the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals, but the 
social media version of 
The Fall Classic is 
a showdown between two much bigger heavyweights: the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. According to 
Socialbakers (as reported via 
FiveThirtyEight.com), the two old-time rivals topped the charts on both TWITTER and Facebook. 
The Evil Ones pull down 1,520,000 TWITTER followers, while 
The Carmine Hose finish close behind at 1,140,000. On Facebook, 
The Bronx Embalmers have 8,490,000 fans, while the Sox boast 5,100,000.
