call this one? yeah, these are two really evenly matched teams. they both won 92 games. it came down to the wire for the yankees and the red sox, and it's so hard to pick ran her. i think the red yankees — — yankees have more players right now. those were huge games, and the red sox just didn't show up. i think the yankees have the momentum, but these teams don't play very good defence. they pitch 0k, teams don't play very good defence. they pitch ok, but theyjust hit the ball out of the ballpark a lot. i think it's going to be an offence of matchup between two teams that don't like each other much and have seen a lot that of each other this year. what is it about these two? what's propelled them to this universal recognition? it propelled them to this universal recognition?—

it started years ago when these were two teams i recognition? it started years ago when these were two teams that recognition? it started years ago i when these were two teams that spent a lot of money on their team, and really were not afraid, especially in the early 2000 's, that same ownership group that now owns liverpool and started spending a lot of money. when both teams spend a lot of money, they created some tremendous postseason arrive earlier games. there is a lot of frustration between these teams, and for both of them, it's going to be of tough path for them because the next team they would have to play, may be the best team in the american league. i think there will be the underdog going forward. finally, to sporting matters elsewhere in america, where bubba wallace became the first african american driver in 58 years to win a nascar race at the elite level on monday, his career coming full circle following the events of the past year. reginaldo rosario reports. this was the moment history was made. cheering the circumstances were unusual, but for nascar's only full—time american driver — — african—american driver... had raced into the league in alabama when this crash in a rainstorm brought the 500 to a halt. nascar were unable to drive the track, and with the light fading, the race was called off. wallace the first black man since 1963 to win a race at the elite cup series level. i never think about those things. when you say it like that, it's obviously, it brings a lot of emotion and joy to my family, fans, and friends. it's pretty damn cool. it was a poignant first victory for wallace. he was then put in the centre of the storm at talladega. the us justice centre of the storm at talladega. the usjustice department are investigating the
