Major League Baseball's postseason schedule could feature latest calendar date in World Series history

Who's going to be Mr. November?

MLB released its preliminary postseason schedule on Monday, and the slate could feature a game played at the latest calendar date in World Series history.

If the Fall Classic extends to a seventh game, that contest would be played on Saturday, Nov. 5. The 2001 and 2009 World Series both ended on Nov. 4 of those respective seasons, the current record for the latest date that a game was played in a postseason.

The 2001 and 2009 seasons both featured three World Series games played on Nov. 1 or later, which is the current record.
