Major League Baseball, as it has done throughout its playoffs, showcased the best of the best over the weekend.
On Saturday in the U.S., the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees played a day game in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series while the prime-time stage went to the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
During the time of the year when fans care about baseball the most and interest rises among casual observers, MLB raised its profile by putting its best product on the field at times when people could actually see it.
