      Die-Hard Cubs Fans to Get Final Waiting Place

      (Newser) - When the last living Cubs fan to have seen his team win the World Series passed away in April at age 106, fans willing to wait a lifetime realized a lifetime may not be long enough. One is now preparing the field of their dreams in a Chicago cemetery, the AP reports, where 280 "eternal skyboxes" will be available in a replica of Wrigley Field's center wall. More »

      Red Sox Champions—Again!

      (Newser) - They didn't wait 86 years for this one: three years removed from their first World Series title in nearly a century, the Red Sox won their second in four years, doing it again as they did in 2004 with a four-game sweep, this time over the Colorado Rockies. Series MVP Mike Lowell scored one run and drove in another in the 4-3 victory with a solo HR. Closer Jonathan Papelbon ended it with a strikeout of Seth Smith. More »

      Rockies Redo Series Ticket Web Sales

      (Newser) - The Rockies blamed an “external malicious attack” for the crash of a partner company’s server who was handling the sale of World Series tickets, and said they'll try again tomorrow. The site received 8.5 million hits in 90 minutes but, according to a company spokesman, traffic was not the issue. Only a few hundred of the estimated 60,000 available tickets were sold, reports the Rocky Mountain News . More »

      Rockies Servers Crash, Halting Series Ticket Sales

      (Newser) - The Colorado Rockies have suspended World Series ticket sales—both online and at the box office—after a partner company's servers crashed under overwhelming demand. Tix went on sale at 10am, but the site had massive traffic 90 minutes beforehand, and by the time sales opened the system was hopelessly jammed. "It's a joke. They should have started selling these a while ago," says one fan. More »

      Pedroia Powers Sox Into Series

      (Newser) - The smallest guy on the field struck the biggest blows last night as the Red Sox turned a tense ALCS Game 7 into a late-inning laugher. With the Sox leading the Indians 3-2, rookie second baseman Dustin Pedroia hit a 2-run HR in the 7th inning, then a bases-loaded double in the 8th, and Boston cruised into the World Series with an 11-2 win, the team's third straight victory after trailing the series 3-1.

      Bonds Plans to Check Out After 2008 Season

      (Newser) - Baseball's controversial new home run king will likely pack it in after the 2008 season. Barry Bonds, who passed Hank Aaron's mark of 755 career home runs last week, said he hopes to keep slugging only one more year and try to reach his remaining goals--3,000 hits and a World Series ring. "I don't think two years I can take," he confessed. More »
