The series is a best-on-best matchup between the two biggest teams in baseball, with the sport’s top players, including the guy who may end up as the greatest of them all
Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani celebrates a win against the New York Mets in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series , on Oct. 20, in Los Angeles.The business problem of sports isn’t attracting customers. If your TikTok is slick enough, you could start a league throwing rocks against a wall. The problem is getting your best product to market.
This is distinct from a great World Series, because once it’s over you can’t time travel back to the hours before Game 1 and tell people ‘You’re not gonna want to miss this.’ The matchup on paper is what matters. The other day, I watched Ohtani do a series with GQ called 10 Essentials. This is where someone, usually an actor, details 10 products he can’t live without.
He’s been the best player in baseball for at least four years, but distantly. He was a guy in highlight reels or used as a point of comparison on podcasts. Few saw him in regular, live action. So, weirdly, the coming week or two is Ohtani’s coming out to many. This isn’t to say that the Yankees are unlikeable. Over the years, New York has mastered the art of being hateable without being hateful. It helps that what was once the New York way – attempting to buy titles – has become everyone’s way.Sure, they bought their way this far. Only the wretched Mets spend more on their roster. But unlike some others we could name, their stars are stars when it counts.
This is how it should be – not two shining examples of fully complemented sides. But two tired contingents, slugging it out exhaustedly to the last at-bat. Those are the conditions under which legends begin to present themselves.
