World series game 1
HOUSTON — Home has been where the hurt is for the Astros of this era. In four World Series appearances dating back to 2017, they are an uncharacteristic 4-8 at Minute Maid Park, and they watched the 2019 Nationals and 2021 Braves celebrate a World Series championship on a field that’s supposed to belong to them.< restrict vs block instagram /p>

2023 saw the return of two teams: the Texas Rangers after twelve years and the Arizona Diamondbacks after twenty-two years. The Rangers, who had home-field advantage for the opening two games, went on to defeat the Diamondbacks in five games to achieve their first World Series championship in franchise history. Corey Seager won the MVP Honor for the second time (his first was with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020), sharing with Reggie Jackson to win MVP Honors with two different teams.
However, in nine of the past eleven seasons, home-field advantage has not decided World Series games: Between 2014 and 2022, and again since 2023, the home team did not win the deciding game of a World Series on their own home field, although the 2020 edition, played on a neutral site due to the COVID-19 pandemic, was won by the designated home team (in this case the team that batted second), the Los Angeles Dodgers, so technically speaking it was the first Series won by the home team since 2013. The 2022 edition was won in 6 games by the eventual designated home team, the Houston Astros, making them the first such team since 2013 to actually win the deciding game of a World Series on their own home field, in this case Minute Maid Park. The following year, the Texas Rangers won the 2023 Series on the road, at Chase Field, home of the opponents, the Arizona Diamondbacks, who would have home-field advantage for the deciding game of the 2023 Series. The following year the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2024 Series on the road in Yankee Stadium, home of opponents the New York Yankees, who had home-field advantage for the deciding game of their 2024 series.
The United States, Canada, and Mexico (Liga Méxicana de Béisbol, established 1925) were the only professional baseball countries until a few decades into the 20th century. The first Japanese professional baseball efforts began in 1920. The current Japanese leagues date from the late 1940s (after World War II). Various Latin American leagues also formed around that time.

The battle between the three of us raged for the next 15 minutes. My spear and bow weapon combination gave me a lot of utility – I could use the spear to temporarily knock one of the two down, then use the bow to get some distance. It was pretty unlikely that I’d be able to kill either of them. During a brief lull in the fight, I mounted up and put some distance between us. As I slowed down, expecting them to leave me alone, I saw them both charging down the road towards me. The hectic horse chase that followed was hilarious, with huge leaps from cliffs, crashing through streams, before reaching the haven of Everfall town, where PvP is disabled. I gave them both a salute and went on my way.
As a resident Irishman the detail in Grace O’Maley’s use of choice language is quite accurate to real world conversation here. It’s fine detail that’s not often included in games but very appreciated.
Additionally, as part of the summer Steam sale, you can also pick up the standard edition for 60% off ($15.99 / £13.19), or get the Elysian edition, which includes Rise of the Angry Earth, for 43% off ($39.98 / 33.18). If you’re planning on diving into Aeternum, the latter may be the better option.
What I’ve played of Aeternum does feel like the “ultimate version of New World” that Amazon promised, but is it too little too late? While competitors like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14 have continued to flourish, New World didn’t have legs. Amazon has arguably taken a risk in deciding to shoot for mass appeal with this reboot, upsetting its admittedly small core audience in the process, and while the console release will lead to an influx of new players, Aeternum has an uphill battle on its hands to get the OG fans back onside.
