Default Kansas City in 6!

I say Kansas City in 6 games. That way they can come back home and win it in front of their fans!

Hi Tommy, I'm hoping that you can create your own World Series Thread (since I don't follow the game)...

I have enjoyed the few games I've seen, but most of them were little league games where they play with their hearts > instead of for Big $'s...

Your Choice to start a thread, but I think it would be fun for those into the Game Thanks
