The World Series Begins and Developments on the MLB Agenda

As the World Series begins, weather forecasts indicate that the games will be played under closed roofs; meanwhile, Brian Cashman remains in his position as Yankees general manager, the Fielding Bible Awards have been announced, and former first baseman Todd Benzinger has passed away at the age of 63.

The World Series begins tonight. Adam Berry and Adam McCalvy note that the most important factor in the series is the roofs of both teams' stadiums. Although Milwaukee's roof is retractable, weather forecasts indicate that the entire series will be played in indoor stadiums, marking the first World Series in history to be played entirely indoors.

The New York Yankees have reached an agreement to continue with Brian Cashman, who has served as general manager since 1998. The winners of the Fielding Bible Awards have also been announced; Alex Bregman was selected for the third base position, Pete Crow-Armstrong for center field and as the overall Defensive Player of the Year, and the Chicago Cubs were named the Defensive Team of the Year.

Former baseball player Todd Benzinger, who was the first baseman for the last Cincinnati Reds team to win the World Series in 1990, has passed away at the age of 63.
