THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS. A FIRST FOR BOYS IN BLUE SINCE 1988 WHEN THE KNOCKED OUT THE OAKLAND A’S….THE DODGERS DEFEATED THE TAMPA BAY RAYS IN GAME 6 OF THE FALL CLASSIC IN TEXAS AT GLOBE LIFE FIELD LAST NIGHT 3- 1 TO CLINCH THE SERIES. IT IS THE SEVENTH TITLE IN FRANCHISE HISTORY.

RAYS MANAGER KEVIN CASH PULLED HIS ACE, BLAKE SNELL, IN THE SIXTH INNING AND MANY ARE ASKING WHY? HE WAS CRUISING….5 1/3 INNINGS OF SHUT OUT BALL WITH 9 STRIKE OUTS, AND YOU PULL YOUR ACE……. LOS ANGELES IMMEDIATELY JUMPED ON RELIEVER NICK ANDERSON, TOOK THE LEAD AND THE TITLE….

Mookie Betts slugged an insurance solo homer in the eighth.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager WAS named Most Valuable Player of the 2020 World Series. He was the unanimous choice for the award.

Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was removed from World Series Game 6 during the eighth inning in L.A.’s title-clinching victory on Tuesday night. After the game, it was announced that Turner had tested positive for COVID-19. It was MLB’s first positive test of the playoffs, and Turner was immediately removed from the game once the positive test result was known.

Turner had a test from Monday come back inconclusive in the second inning, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. Once the lab completed running a test from Tuesday, MLB was informed Turner tested positive and immediately told the Dodgers that he had to come out of the game.

With COVID-19 still raging across the country, it was long expected that many college football games would be postponed if not outright canceled over the course of the season. With many unknowns about the virus and its long-term effects, schools are taking every precaution necessary to make sure the student-athletes and staff are protected. As we enter Week 7 of the 2020 season, there have now been 35 games affected by COVID-19 with most postponements coming as a result of contact tracing protocols that require players to quarantine for 14 days if they are deemed to have been in high-risk contact with someone who has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Seven such games have been canceled or postponed just this week.

Some teams, such as Florida, Missouri, Houston, Memphis, Baylor, FAU, Virginia Tech, Arkansas State, Charlotte and Rice have already experienced multiple game disruptions.

MISSOURI WAS SCHEDULED TO PLAY AT FLORIDA LAST SATURDAY, BUT COVID PROBLEMS IN FLORIDA BUMPED THAT GAME…MISSOURI WAS ABLE TO MOVE THEIR KENTUCKY GAME TO LAST SATURDAY, A 20-10 TIGER VICTORY, AND THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, MISSOURI TRAVELS TO FLORIDA TO MEET THE GATORS IN A RE-SCHEUDLING…….

Even those who have not seen a game postponed yet are living day-by-day as COVID-19 test results and subsequent contact tracing dictate if — and how effectively — they will be able to play as scheduled.
