The World Series is baseball’s showcase event. Players bundle up to endure bitter cold in hopes of bringing home that which they have been pursuing since they first set foot in an Arizona spring training complex eight months ago. There are no other games, no other distractions, just the Cubs and Indians duking it out. Of course that means when we hit an off day, the baseball news dries up a bit.
But, hark, what’s that? A crack of the bat out of the Valley of the Sun? Why, it’s the Arizona Fall League, here to save us from a baseball-less existence, at least for one day!
