If you're as excited for the World Series as I am, you're probably looking for some resources that will help you stay up-to-date on all the drama surrounding the Fall Classic between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies.
I've compiled a list of different resources to help you prepare for the big games, which begin Wednesday. For iPhone users, I've thrown in a couple of apps for when you're on the go. So without further ado, let's get going on the baseball chatter.
World Series time
MLB World Series Major League Baseball's World Series page is a great resource for those who want to learn just about anything related to the Fall Classic.
When you get to the site, you'll be able to read the news, watch videos related to the game, and watch all the interviews you might have missed. When the game's playing, the site will give you some updates on the progress both teams are making. You can also play World Series trivia games, buy MLB merchandise, and more. It's a great place to learn more about the World Series.

After the Phillies won the World Series on Wednesday, either a jubilant mob of revelers or an angry mob of Rays fans (the world will never know) flipped over Ted Passon's parked car, a 1998 Mitsubishi Galant. Without collision insurance to repair the serious damage, Passon found himself carless, and to add insult to injury, in the hole for paying a tow truck to turn it over (causing, from the sound on the video, more damage in the process).
Passon is giving "Philly" a chance to make good on its hooliganism, through his Phillies Fix My Car Web site. The Phillies fan and freelance videographer says on the site, "There was alot of people on Broad Street last night. If all the people who were hanging out near Broad and Washington (where the car was flipped) gave me ten dollars I could probably buy a new car... or if all the people who actually flipped my car gave me a thousand dollars that could work too." He's taking contributions through PayPal.
So far, he's raised $800, gotten "1000 hits in five hours," and grabbed the attention of a local TV news station. "They are on their way over," he wrote in an e-mail to me.
Good luck, Ted. Righting the wrong, if not the car, is the least the mob can do for you.
