NEW YORK (AP) β The resilient Kansas City Royals are World Series champions for the first time in 30 years — thanks to Christian Colon (koh-LOHN’).

NEW ORLEANS (AP)β The New Orleans Superdome scoreboard rarely stopped lighting up in the Saints’ 52-49 win over the Giants in the third-highest scoring game in NFL history. Drew Brees threw for a career-best 511 yards and seven touchdowns in the win while Eli Manning had a six-TD passing game in the loss for the Giants.
RIDGEVILLE, Va. (AP) βMatt Kenseth got his revenge on Joey Logano. Upset for Logano’s knocking him out the lead in a race recently, Kenseth intentionally wrecked Logano who had a big lead at Martinsville. The benefactor of all this was Jeff Gordon, who won his first race of the season to continue in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup playoffs.
