October Classic is what the World Series of Baseball was known as in golden age of the game. The best team in the American League faced the best team in the National League in a seven game series to determine the World Champion. In today's version of the game a team that did not even win a divisional league title can through a series post season playoffs go on to play in the World Series, which usually ends now in late October. The game has been cheapened in the service of greed.
