KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The latest on the World Series, which opens Tuesday night with the Kansas City Royals hosting the New York Mets (all times local):

4:05 p.m.

Before the World Series opener, Royals manager Ned Yost was asked about his time as a taxidermist.

"My uncle ran a bowling alley there in Jackson, Mississippi. And they had a storage room out back. And that was my winter job," he said.

The bowling alley is still there, but there's nothing in the back but old bowling balls and old pins there, I think.
