World Series Game 1 Recap: Heroes Known and Unknown

The beautiful thing about the World Series is the stage itself. Players can exist in relative anonymity for years, doing their thing, underrated by the vast majority of the sports viewing world, until they reach the Fall Classic.

Cleveland Indians starter Corey Kluber isn't exactly an unknown. The guy is a former Cy Young Award winner and could potentially win his second such award after his excellent 2016 season. But he has not been a household name.

At least, not until last night.

Kluber was dominant in Game 1 of the World Series and was ably aided by super-reliever Andrew Miller and unheralded catcher Roberto Perez' two-homer night to give the Indians a 6-0 win and an early 1-0 lead in this best-of-seven Fall Classic.
