fall classics

Autumn baseball finales

Fall classics are the championship games or series that conclude major sports seasons in autumn, most notably baseball's World Series.

The term evokes tradition and seasonal ritual—the culmination of a long season as leaves turn and temperatures drop.

The fall classic begins next week.

In the singular, the Fall Classic typically means the World Series specifically.
