World Series 2020: The oddest of World Series ends with the most 2020 moment of the season

ARLINGTON, Texas — In this oddest of years, this most peculiar of baseball seasons, there was perhaps no more telling snapshot of the United States, circa 2020, than a COVID-19-positive man sitting on the ground, maskless, next to a cancer survivor, maskless as well, with indelible grins spread across their faces.

If the Los Angeles Dodgers go on to win this World Series, remember that 1 inch — the 1 inch that Manuel Margot needed to complete the first steal of home in the World Series since 2002. Instead, he was the third out of the bottom of the fourth inning as Clayton Kershaw escaped a […]

Tampa Bay Rays’ Blake Snell pulled in sixth inning; Kevin Cash’s decision backfires

ARLINGTON, Texas — Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said he regretted the outcome more than the decision to pull starter Blake Snell after 5 1/3 scoreless innings in Game 6 of the World Series on Tuesday night while the left-hander was still at the top of his game. “Well, yeah, I regret the decision […]

ARLINGTON, Texas — It had a chance to change the game and make history, but Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Manny Margot’s attempted steal of home in the bottom of the fourth inning of Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night fell short, as he was tagged out just before getting his hand […]

World Series 2020: Clayton Kershaw repairs his playoff legacy with Game 5 win

ARLINGTON, Texas — Cali Kershaw, 5, a nuclear bundle of energy, jitterbugged around the room, under the table and over it, side to side, everywhere space permitted.
