Who Cares Who Wins The World Series?
1.) Players, Fans, and Employees of the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets.
2.) Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. (He’s paid to care, as long as he remains impartial.)
3.) George Brett.
4.) Some fans of the eventual winner, if that team is the same one that knocked their own club from the playoffs because it gives them the satisfaction of feeling that their boys, at least, lost to the one team that won it all. (Had the Cubs advanced to the World Series, however, it is most improbable that any Cardinals fans would have been pulling for the baby bears to win it all.)
5.) George Brett.
6.) Revenge fans of those clubs who were eliminated by one of the two World Series teams. Unlike their polar opposites who wish to take consolation in knowing that their team lost to the eventual World Series winner, these fans want somebody to vicariously revenge their own suffering by beating up on the club that knocked their favorites from the hunt.
7.) George Brett.
8.) Hotels and relevant service and product industries do not really care who wins. They are just hoping that a lot of people show up and that the World Series runs a full seven games.
Editorial Note: Yes, George Brett did receive three mentions in our list of those who care about this year’s World Series. We gave him one listing for each of the three times the TV cameras in Game Six spotted him in his private suite, checking either his pulse or holding his heart during certain tense times in Game Six of the ALCS battle. Regardless of our current personal dearth of interest, we will be sure to watch, anyway. After all, it is the World Series – and it will be our last lingering taste of professional baseball until next April.

George Brett--murderer of the 1985 Toronto Blue Jays. May he rot in hell but a damn fine ballplayer he was.

I know this is late but...
I heard George Brett was opening his own Pine Tar Co. I will Google this further and report back.
