The stage is set. I’m ready. Casual fans are ready. Fox studio executives and advertisers are certainly ready.

Salivating is more like it.

One more win tonight or tomorrow for the Yankees of New York and they will be in baseball’s World Series, their first such trip since 2009. For the already-in Dodgers of Los Angeles it is their first trip since 1988. It’s the first New York-LA championship of any major sport in my lifetime. (The most recent was Yankees-Dodgers in 1981.) This is bound to be the most epic World Series since, well, last year. But last year was epic.

None of this matters, of course, without one more win from the Bronx Bombers. So this is it… one more win. One final ride.
