The Giants have won the World Series for the
third time in five years, quietly making them every bit the force that the Yankees were in the late 1990s. The KC Royals put up a great fight, taking the series to 7 games. What is striking to me is how low in stature the World Series has become. When I was younger, kids would bring transistor radios to school, classroom TVs were turned on, and it would transcend baseball. Today, it barely gets mentioned on the sports radio station. I would imagine it's different in the host cities. I hope to find out one of these years.
