Why this World Series needs to go seven games

Linda Feldmann
Washington Bureau Chief

Baseball never ceases to amaze. Put aside the United States vs. Canada dynamic in this year鈥檚 World Series. The sheer athleticism has been a joy to watch, as the Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the Toronto Blue Jays. Take Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage, barely out of the minor leagues, notching 12 strikeouts on Wednesday night in Game 5 鈥 a World Series rookie record. Or Shohei Ohtani, a modern-day Babe Ruth, who reached base nine times in the 18-inning wonder that was Game 3, and then pitched six innings hours later in Game 4.

Toronto leads the series 3-2, and could win the whole thing Friday (at home) for the first time since 1993. Sara Miller Llana captures the anticipation of Blue Jays fans in her story. But I鈥檓 kind of rooting for Los Angeles tonight. This fall classic needs to go seven games.
