World Series

This thing started off with a historic bang. 

Two pitchers riding diverging postseason paths will collide in Game 2 of 2015's World Series on Wednesday night.

The New York Mets have emerged victorious in all three of Jacob deGrom's playoff starts, all away from Citi Field. He'll look to once again disappoint a home crowd to bring the series to Flushing tied at 1-1.

This should be David Wright’s stage. 

This should be where the man once tagged as Captain America and the captain of the New York Mets, the only franchise for which he’s ever played, shined brightest. In David Wright’s first World Series, he should be the superstar of superstars. 

Whether it's the New York Mets or the Kansas City Royals, the winner of the World Series will have its first championship in three decades.

Strictly going off the first act, we can deduce two things: It may take another three decades for this series to crown a winner, and getting there is going to be a hell of a ride.

Kansas City Royals pitcher Edinson Volquez reportedly took the mound for Game 1 of the World Series shortly after his father died.

MLB fans were left in the dark Tuesday night when Fox's television broadcast of Game 1 of the World Series between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals was interrupted by technical difficulties.    

According to Eric Fisher of SportsBusiness Journal, this is the image televisions across the country were presented with when Fox's broadcast truck in Kansas City, Missouri, lost power: 

The Kansas City Royals will face the New York Mets in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night, but they could be without one of their key postseason contributors for some of the Fall Classic.

Game 1 of the World Series could be in danger, as rain has been coming down throughout the afternoon in Kansas City, Missouri. The first pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET.

Matt Snyder of CBS Sports provided a Vine from the field about four hours prior to the scheduled first pitch:

The 2015 World Series has finally arrived, and the only certain aspect of an evenly matched series is that oddsmakers and bettors alike have a lot on their plates.

The anticipation is finally over, and the 2015 World Series will see the first pitch of Game 1 get thrown out Tuesday evening at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
