During this 31-day journey, Maiorana takes an in-depth look at each day's most notable event.Miguel Cabrera's securing of the Triple Crown; the return of playoff baseball to the nation's capital; Derek Jeter's season-ending broken ankle in the ALCS; the benching of Alex Rodriguez; the epic offensive malfunction of the Yankees; the brilliance of Justin Verlander; the Giants remarkable run of staving off elimination; Pablo Sandoval's historic three-homer performance in Game 1 of the World Series; and the Giants impressively efficient sweep of the Tigers. And that's just a sampling of what's included.
