But the Left doesn\u2019t allow that anymore, so we\u2019re going to point out the hilarity of it all.No one thought the 88-win Braves were World Series bound at the beginning of the MLB Playoffs. The 107-win San Francisco Giants and the 106-win LA Dodgers were standing in their way, favored to represent the National League in the Fall Classic.\u00a0I can only imagine the horror on the face of Democrats as Atlanta shortstop Dansby Swanson threw to first base for the final out of game six, sending the Braves dugout streaming to celebrate on the pitcher\u2019s mound.\u00a0Major League Baseball \u2014 and the Left \u2014 punished the city of Atlanta by taking away the Summer Classic. Now, Atlanta will be hosting at least two, and potentially three, World Series games at Truist Park.\u00a0The games in Atlanta will be a massive boon for the local economy, as people from all over the country will descend on Truist Park to watch baseball at its best. KPRC Houston reported that the city made around $30 million from the Astros World Series games in 2017. It should be a nice opportunity for small businesses in Atlanta to at least chip into the estimated $100 million loss suffered by the moving of the All-Star Game.\u00a0The All-Star game was moved as a form of punishment so that moving forward, other states would think twice about making laws the Left opposes. And now, every eye in baseball will be trained on the very state the Left sought to punish.Georgia governor Brian Kemp found the humor, taking a jab at Stacey Abrams following the Braves victory.\u00a0While Stacey Abrams and the MLB stole the All-Star Game from hardworking Georgians, the Braves earned their trip to the World Series this season and are bringing it home to Georgia. Chop On, and Go @Braves!\u2014 Brian Kemp (@BrianKempGA) October 24, 2021In a twist that makes the situation keel-over-with-laughter funny, a team from the state of Texas will be representing the American League.\u00a0The Houston Astros \u2014 just two years removed from the biggest cheating scandal since the Chicago Black Sox \u2014 will host the first two games of the World Series, in a state that is currently committing the ultimate sin to the Left \u2014 saving babies.\u00a0Life has a funny way of coming back around. The Left injected themselves where they didn\u2019t belong \u2014 in sports \u2014 by putting pressure on companies to punish the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia because they didn\u2019t like a bill put forth by a Republican governor.\u00a0And now, six months later, all eyes will be on the states of Texas and Georgia as Major League Baseball crowns their 2021 World Series champion.\u00a0If you listen closely, you can hear the Left screaming in anguish.Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
