As we end the month of October it seems fitting that I choose it as the best month of sports. October is a month that brings all the elements of sport together. The leaves changing colors in the heart of the professional and college football seasons which are alive in the fans hearts and minds. With last season's exciting World Series that wasn't won by those "Damn Yankees," bringing the pep back to baseball playoffs, October culminates with a Cinderella World Series between the San Francisco Giants and Anaheim Angels.

The BCS poll coming out on October 21st separates the best (Va Tech) from the rest and gives those certain college football fans their hope that elusive national championship. The NHL season starts back up with Detroit hoping for their second straight Stanley Cup and talks of the Mario Lemieux regaining the scoring title so late in his career. Starting later in the month the NBA begins with Michael Jordan playing in his final year of his second comeback with the Washington Wizards hoping for one final playoff run and the Lakers hoping for an amazing fourth straight championship.

As we enter November and keep the world of sports moving I ask you to look back and remember the magical matchups of October.
