The big one has finally arrived. A new MLB franchise will get their hands on baseball's ultimate prize this year when the Tampa Bay Rays and the Milwaukee Brewers face off in the World Series.
One team will end their wait for a championship after the Rays beat the Cleveland Guardians and the Brewers defeated the back-to-back defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers to progress.
The best-of-seven tussle will break hearts in one city and make heroes in another as the MLB season reaches its thrilling conclusion.
