World Series Preview: Inside Fox’s October Showcase

There’s joy in Mudville as baseball continues to deliver

When Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander takes the hill tonight in the opening game of the 108th edition of the World Series, he’ll be stepping into history.

While this marks the 11th trip to the Fall Classic for the Tigers and the 19th appearance for the San Francisco Giants—14 of which were earned under the club’s original New York designation—these clubs have never met in the postseason.

Fox is confident that the novelty of a Tigers-Giants showdown and a Detroit roster that includes the first Triple Crown winner since 1967 (Miguel Cabrera) and the best pitcher in baseball (Verlander) should be reason enough for fans to tune in.
