We’re serving up spooky good icebreakers for your Halloween weekend.
1. The World Series begins tonight
The much-anticipated World Series (MLB - Major League Baseball) begins tonight, featuring an unlikely matchup between the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Believe it or not, two years ago, both teams suffered through seasons where they lost more than 100 games. But here they are, ready to compete for baseball's most prestigious title. The Rangers have even turned to the power of music by using Creed's songs to boost their postseason aspirations.
Keep an eye on two standout players – Corbin Carrol of the Diamondbacks, the favorite to win the National League Rookie of the Year after an impressive debut season, and Adolis Garcia, the American League Championship Series MVP, who is currently on fire.
Oh, and don't forget the "Steal A Base Steal A Taco" promotion from Taco Bell – it's back for more excitement this World Series.
2. History in the Making: Female Notre Dame Leprechaun
This Saturday, for the first time, a female student will portray Notre Dame's iconic Leprechaun mascot at a football game. Kylee Kazenski will step into the mascot's green suit. She’s one of two women selected for Notre Dame's Leprechaun lineup for the 2023-24 school year.
3. The Ultimate Wardrobe Whoops
We've all had those moments when we've packed the wrong outfit for a trip, right? The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) recently had a similar mishap. They accidentally left their road white jerseys in El Paso and wore their home blue jerseys for a Wednesday night game at Sam Houston. The result? UTEP in blue and the Bearkats in orange; quite kind of the hosts to change their uniforms to accommodate.
And speaking of uniforms, the Tennessee Titans (NFL - National Football League) wearing their "throwbacks" has sparked a debate. While these throwbacks are some of the best in the league, they pay tribute to the Houston Oilers, a franchise that left Houston for Nashville and became the Titans.
4. If you’re on Taylor Swift watch
Lastly, don't forget to tune in on Sunday afternoon as the Kansas Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos.
So, ladies, this weekend promises a rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected moments in the sports world. From the World Series to female empowerment with the Notre Dame Leprechaun and even wardrobe mishaps, there's something for everyone. Grab your popcorn and prepare for a fantastic weekend of sports and surprises!
