And so, Dusty Baker has another chance to reach the summit. His Astros defeated the New York Yankees, 4 games to Zip. Aaron Judge struck out on his last at bat in the bottom of the 9th, symbolizing a final statement from the Astros' closer: "It's over". On the National League side of the balance, the San Diego Padres entered the best-of-seven contest with high hopes, only having the dream shattered by a surging 9 team, whose roster included one Bryce Harper, the "Hope of Philly", who sent an 8th -inning pitch deep into the seats, sealing the fate of the Pads. The bearded slugger answered the call of the faithful, who prayed for relief from infamy and winter's gloom. Bolstered by tense situations, the highly paid Harper responded in kind, blasting home run after home run, speaking in his own prowess, telling the fans:"I've arrived; I'm here to carry the burden across the finish line after a season's toil".
The table is set; the guest list is complete, the menu published for all to savor. It's the World Series. Be there.
