For millions of baseball fans around the world, there is nothing like October. The air is crisp and cool, sunglasses are traded out for face warmers, and the champions of Major League Baseball will be crowned. This year, the 111th World Series will be played; contested are National League champs, The New York Mets and American League victors, The Kansas City Royals.

The Royals will have home field advantage against the Mets, being the American League won the All-Star Game. The first game will be played on Tuesday Oct. 27, 2015 at Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Miss. The Royals are coming off of a win against the Toronto Blue Jays, whom they defeated 4-2 in the series. The New York Mets will be coming off of a five game winning streak after defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL divisional series game, and then sweeping the Chicago Cubs to clinch the NL title.

The New York Mets are red hot coming into the World Series. With Daniel Murphy hitting home runs in six consecutive games, breaking an MLB post season record, Royals pitchers better be ready to work. The Mets' captain David Wright, Daniel Murphy, and lead off man Curtis Granderson have been consistently getting on base for the Amazin' Mets. The Royals had fans on the edge of their seats while playing against the Blue Jays. Notable Royals players, first baseman Eric Hosmer and third baseman Mike Moustakas, led their team to victory against Toronto after six games in the series.

The first pitching match up for game one is unknown. The Royals still have not announced their rotation for the World Series games. The Mets made the announcement that they will be using Matt Harvey as their starting pitcher in game one, Jacob deGromm in game two, Noah Syndergaard in game three, and Steven Matz in game four. The rotation for Kansas City appears like it will be Yordano Ventura in game one, Johnny Cueto in game two, Edinson Volquez in game three, and Chris Young in game four.

The Mets' last World Series appearance was a defeat back in 2000 against the New York Yankees. The Royals' last World Series appearance was last season in 2014. The Royals lost the series to the San Francisco Giants. The last time the Royals won the world series was in 1985, while the Mets won their last World Series the next season in 1986 against the Boston Red Sox.

Both teams have fought tooth and nail throughout the season to make it to The World Series. The Royals are hoping to make up for last year's loss to the Giants and the Mets are hoping to win the series for the first time in 29 years.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
