Will Junior Caminero cap off his huge season with a World Series win? Here is FOX Foresight built with Gemini on @googl Via @MLBONFOX on X

What happened: Junior Caminero prepares for his Fall Classic debut after homering off the foul pole in ALCS Game 6 to stretch a seventh-inning lead to 5-1. That blast also produced the longest recorded home run trot in MLB postseason history.

Why it matters: Both franchises in the 2026 matchup are pursuing their first World Series championship after a 44-year wait on the National League side. Signed out of the Dominican Republic three days before his 16th birthday, Caminero now headlines the championship stage after handling his own camerawork on Media Day.

What to watch: World Series Game 1 airs Friday night on FOX.
