What happened: Major League Baseball set up the public activation inside the New York City venue to showcase the postseason atmosphere. Visitors could pose with the World Series trophy, sample Ballpark Bites snacks, and collect Topps trading cards on site.

Why it matters: The event builds league visibility in a major media market ahead of World Series Game 1. Pairing physical Topps collectibles with food sampling and trophy access turns a high-traffic venue into an in-person championship promotion.

What to watch: Attention shifts back to the diamond as World Series Game 1 gets underway.
