Not to get ahead of ourselves too much, but thanks to the Red Sox clinching the MLB's best record (and home-field advantage
throughout the playoffs), any World Series Game Seven would be
at Fenway Park on Halloween night. Yup, you heard it right. How could it be any other way for the Red Sox, right? And, if they happened to be facing their World Series opponents from 100 years ago—the Chicago Cubs—Game Seven would
really be a spook-fest. There would be enough ghosts around the old ball-yard to scare off Cubbie fan (and former
GhostBuster)
Bill Murray. Now, this sweet eventuality is a
long way off—and would require ten post-season wins by
The Carmine Hose before even
getting to a World Series Game Seven. But, still, a dream re-match of the 1918 World Series would have to be
Rob Manfred's best-case scenario for this year's
Fall Classic. Come on—
Theo Epstein facing off against the NOG (Red Sox New Ownership Group), maybe even
Jon Lester on the hill for Chicago versus
Chris Sale. It doesn't get much better than that.
