What happened: Families of fallen military service members attended World Series games in partnership with New York Life and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. The initiative provided families with tickets and on-site experiences during Tampa Bay's postseason run.

Why it matters: Tampa Bay hosted Fall Classic games after the franchise clinched the AL pennant in late October. Major League Baseball routinely pairs its premier postseason events with charitable and community support programs for military families.

What to watch: Tampa Bay enters the 2027 offseason with roster planning underway ahead of winter meetings.
