Mike and Armando preview the World Series that MLB was dreaming about this entire season, The New York Yankees vs. The Los Angeles Dodgers. The old school rivals are squaring off in the Fall Classic once again, and for the first time since 1981. This World Series features some of the biggest stars in baseball, including the two biggest in Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. This is a battle between two juggernauts of the sport, and the biggest winners will be the fans, and of course MLB, the networks, and everyone who is going to pocket big time from this match-up.
We talk about the economics of this World Series, and what it means in the TV advertising world. We go into the two managers. Both Dave Roberts and Aaron Boone looked to be on their way out at times, and here they are battling for a championship ring. Who will make a mistake first?
Former Marlins' players are having a big role in these playoffs. Can Giancarlo Stanton continue his monstrous postseason? Will Jazz Chisholm and his energy carry the Yankees to a title?
We remember Fernando Valenzuela, who passed away this week, and what he meant to the game of baseball.
Speaking of the Marlins, who will be their next manager? We tell the fans of our local team what they can expect next season.
In football, Tua is back. Positive for the Dolphins, but how about for the QB and his health? And can the Canes carry their magic for the rest of the season?
This, and much more on episode 97 of Up & In.
