King Vogt and the Guardians of the Round Table (ALDS Game 1)

Writer Mario Crescibene presents a fictional, fantasy-themed narrative representing Game 1 of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox. The creative piece frames Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt and Chicago manager Will Venable as rival kings leading their respective squads in a mythical battle for the Commissioner's Trophy.

In the story, King Vogt faces off against King Venable in a magical realm called The Euclidean Stair, while Guardian knights battle an opposing force that reveals Japanese mercenary Murakami. The piece concludes Chapter 7 with Venable taking a 1-0 lead over Vogt in their duel.
