TORONTO - The Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes reached a new level of intrigue on a wild Friday of amateur internet sleuthing, which culminated with fans breathlessly tracking a private jet from Southern California to Toronto, only to later find out it was carrying Canadian businessman Robert Herjavec and not the two-way Japanese superstar.

Standing on first base in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series, Texas Rangers rookie Evan Carter strapped a protective sliding mitt onto his left hand and readied to run. As if the Houston Astros needed another element of Carter's game to fear, his left hand had just transformed into Dracula. The vampiric sliding mitt featured a white background, black hair, two bloody fangs, a (winged) bat and a black strap designed to look like Dracula's cape. Halloween had come early.

On the day before his first World Series start, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly snuck a glance over his shoulder at his news conference backdrop. "I decided to take a look back just to double-check that it said 'World Series' behind me," he said.
