If Giancarlo Stanton had his way, Major League Baseball wouldn't have a World Series winner in 2018.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, the New York Yankees slugger said he's "rooting for a draw" in this year's Fall Classic.
Even though a draw in the World Series would leave a bad taste in the mouth of MLB fans, it's the best approach for Stanton to take.
As a member of the Yankees, Stanton is essentially contractually forbidden from rooting for the Boston Red Sox. It would also be odd to root for the team that eliminated the Yankees from the playoffs.
