Who's Going To Be The World Series MVP? Forget A-Rod or A. J. Burnett, Give Me Willie Mays Hayes!
So the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez was last night's World Series hero, knocking a ninth-inning double for the go-ahead run and a 3-1 Series lead against the Phillies. In tonight's Game 5, A. J. Burnett looks to mirror his one-run gem from last week as he takes the mound at Citizens Bank Park. With the Yanks possibly locking up the Fall Classic in a matter of hours, either of these guys could end up nabbing the Series' MVP award.

World Series Game 5 Score!: PHOTO
Current score on World Series Game 5 tonight is 1-3. World Series Game 5 score has the Phillies over the Yankees in the 1st inning.

A.J. Burnett a bust in Game 5, Yankees waste chance to wrap up World Series title

He gave up a three-run homer before retiring a hitter and was chased with nobody out in the third inning. "You just feel like you let a bunch of guys down,"...
