Few events are more synonymous with October than the World Series. Major League Baseball's championship round has been a beloved fixture on the autumnal calendar since 1903, when the upstart Boston Americans shocked the Pittsburgh Pirates to claim global supremacy. That initial series helped cement baseball's place as America's national pastime, and fans' love affair with the 'ol ball game is set to continue on October 28 when the Fall Classic returns.
Baseball's crown jewel is just one of dozens of must-see events from a jam-packed month. Sports fans can also look forward to UFC 280 from Abu Dhabi, the resumption of the NFL's International Series, and the eagerly anticipated return of both the NHL and NBA.
