Should the 2015 Major League Baseball World Series advance to five games, it would mark just the fourth time in history the World Series was played into the month of November. Normally finished before the final day of October, the Fall Classic, which is a best-of-seven series between the winner of the National League Championship Series and the winner of the American League Championship Series, will extend into November should neither team sweep their opponents with four consecutive wins. The 2001 World Series was the first to extend into November, as it came on the heels of the terrorist attacks of September 11. Baseball’s regular season was suspended in the immediate aftermath of those attacks, necessitating a later postseason that ultimately ended on November 4. The 2009 World Series also ended on November 4, while the 2010 World Series ended on November 1. This year’s series includes games scheduled in November because the regular s e a s o n did n o t begin until April 5, which is roughly one weeklater than the MLB season typically begins.

Department will perform “Collected Stories” by Donald Margulies. In “Collected Stories,” prominent shortstory writer Ruth Steiner takes on a new student, Lisa Morrison. The women are teacher and student both in academia and in life, and they come from different social milieus. Ruth’s student eventually becomes her confidante and ultimately, her competitor. For her first novel, Lisa cannibalizes Ruth’s experiences, including her youthful, shattering affair with a famous poet. Literate and intellectually stimulating, “Collected Stories” confronts the great age-old topic: the conflict between the established artist and the adulatory fan who becomes a protégé, disciple, colleague and friend – and finally threatening rival. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays from Nov. 13-15 and 20-22. Tickets are $12 for general admission and $10 for Triton students, faculty and staff and senior citizens. For more information, contact director Amy Fenton at amyfenton@triton.edu.
