In baseball the World Series is the championship games of Major League Baseball in North America, played in October after the end of the regular season between the pennant winners of the American and National Leagues. The Series winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff, meaning that the first team to win four games wins the series. The World Series has been an annual event since 1903. It is played at the baseball stadiums of the two teams in the series. Baseball is so popular that it is sometimes called the “national pastime.” The word “ballgame” in the United States almost always refers to a game of baseball, and “ballpark” to a baseball field.

MAPLE:These leaves have three main points and lots of smaller ones; count them as they flutter by.
ROSE:The rounded shape of this bush’s leaves makes them look a lot like little shields.
BIRCH: As big and tall as this white-bark tree can get, its leaves are as small and as light as feathers.
GERANIUM: You might flip your wig if you find one of these wild-looking leaves in your yard.
BARBERRY:While this plant doesn’t live underwater, its leaves resemble raindrops.
This is a day dedicated to good cheer and good works: “Do an act of kindness – help one person smile”. Use your imagination to think of little ways to bring a smile to someone’s face – kind words, good deeds, thoughtful gestures, there is no limit to the things you can do.
