Who to root for: 2023 World Series
We are down to our final two baseball teams this year, and just as expected it will be Houston vs. Atlanta ..... wait its actually Texas vs. Arizona? Crazy year, the Twins won a playoff game and Max Scherzer is in the World Series with Texas instead of the Mets. As far as Iowa Connections go, we have 1 connection between the two teams, and its Dane Dunning of the Texas Rangers. Dane pitched for the Waterloo Bucks back in 2014. However, lets dig deeper and see who on these teams has those secondary connections. By that, I mean players who played minor league ball for one of the Iowa minor league teams. They include teams from Cedar Rapids, Burlington, Quad Cities, Clinton and of course Iowa (Cubs). Note: I used Baseball reference to pull the list of players who played for each team this season Note: Italics for coaches, bold for current active roster/staff
