Last yr, 2 of the 3 gms between the Orioles & Phillies were decided in the last at bat, including a come from behind bottom of the 9th walk off by the Phillies. This yr, game 1 will be won in a last at bat, hopefully a walk off by the O’s.

This is the World Series we deserve.

All fans would have to agree that the game was one of the best of the season. The atmosphere truly felt like a World Series game and the teams put on a show.

Some fans won't want it because their team wouldn't be in it, but every fan would have fun watching these teams battle it out.

All of that being said, the game lived up to the hype and then some. Fans now get to watch two more games between the Philadelphia and the Orioles over the weekend.

Get ready for even more entertaining baseball.
