In the six months since the first "crack!" of the bat on opening day, baseball fans have seen top plays and suffered tough losses. But, as World Series record holder Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't over "÷til it's over," and for eight playoff teams, the battle has only just begun.

An electric time of year for baseball fans, October brings a wave of tangible excitement and hopes of a 2015 World Series trophy coming to their home stadium.
