What a World Series matchup: The Milwaukee Brewers are on a revenge tour — sweeping the Dodgers after being swept by the same team last year. The Brewers will face a team that once seemed like a long shot, the Tampa Bay Rays, but then won 98 games this season. Plus, with two small-market teams on the biggest stage, does that mean the mighty Dodgers have officially fallen? We talk to baseball journalist Molly Knight about what the series might have in store.

Then, we’ll hear from a World Series champion himself: Dave Winfield. You might know Dave for his famous 11th-inning hit in the ‘92 World Series, or maybe his 12 All-Star selections. Many know him for his time with the New York Yankees, who made him the highest-paid player in the league in 1981. But the team’s owner, George Steinbrenner, carried a vendetta against Dave that would define his nine years on the team.

Iran is in ‘advanced stages’ of planning attacks against Americans, officials say

The Trump administration confirmed the memo on Friday night through a U. S. official. The move demonstrated the seriousness with which the U. S. government is taking the threat, officials said. Axios earlier reported on the memo. U. S. agencies assess that the threat against Americans in the Middle East and several other countries is at the highest level since the start of the war in February, U. S. officials said. President Donald Trump and top aides have received regular briefings on the rising threats, which go beyond the Middle East, one official said. Analysts have been examining the intelligence on the threats to U. S. officials, including ambassadors, in the past three weeks. Some material indicates Iran may have operatives in the United States, the official said. The Iranian plans also include potential targets in Europe, U. S. officials said. But another official cautioned that Iran’s ability to carry out attacks in the United States and other territories overseas is limited, and its ambitions to strike are greater than its capability to do so. The White House did not reply to a request for comment. Clayton’s office and the CIA declined to comment.
