This week's contest is named "Fall Classic" by Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week's contest is A World Series Winning team.

Good luck with the grid and the meta

On the beach! I'll have my usual G & T, thanks.
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D
