Alone at the top they sit. Champions of the world. The Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in a best-of-seven series, winning the series 4-1. Their life-long dream has just became a reality. This is surely a moment that this team and this organization will ever forget!

The Rangers, after losing one of their best players (Adolis Garcia) in game 3, relied heavily on their star shortstop, Corey Seager. And he delivered. Seager went 6-21 with three home runs in the world series, and did not record a single error. He won World Series MVP, an award that was much deserved for the confidence he radiated and leadership he showed throughout the World Series.

The Rangers will have healthier pitching next year to go along with this star-studded line-up, so I would not be surprised to see them in a similar position come next October. The MLB off-season will begin now, with most guys taking off until after the New Year, with Spring Training beginning towards the end of February.

 Pittsburgh Steelers off to a 6-3 start The Pittsburgh Steelers sit at 2nd place in the current AFC North rankings with a record of 6-3. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a young, talented group with a winning culture and and experienced coaching staff. George Pickens, the wide receiver, running back Najee Harris, and quarterback Kenny Pickett lead the offense. The defense of the Steelers, which is anchored by TJ Watt, Cameron Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick is also excellent and one of the best in the league in many statistical categories.   Pictured: Kenny Pickett Photo courtesy of 90.5 WESA   The offense has been a bit shaky at times during this season due to the lack of productivity with the rushing game, issues with protecting Kenny Pickett, and overall struggles from Pickett and the running game. It is safe to say that they rely on their defense. The Steelers defense is currently ranked second in the NFL in total defense and third in the NFL in scoring defense. The defens...
