As October Ends, So Should Baseball 5

Last year’s World Series was marred by inclement Philadelphia weather.
Since the playoffs were modified for the 1995 season and the divisional rounds were added, only one World Series has gone into November. In 2001 the Yankees’ game seven loss to the Diamondbacks was played on November 4th. Beyond that, the latest any World Series has gone is October 28th.
This year, if either the Yankees or Phillies sweeps, game four will be played on November 1st. Should the series need all seven games, the last one would be played (barring weather delays that are certainly possible in cities like Philadelphia and New York) November 5th.
Shouldn’t baseball be over by the time November rolls around? Why doesn’t it?
