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![Thumbsup](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
