For those of us who live in Toronto, traffic is just a normal (albeit annoying) part of everyday life. However, one American tourist who recently visited the city described the congestion in Toronto as some of the "worst" gridlock they've seen anywhere, including major U.S. cities. The visitor detailed their experience with the city's gridlock in a Reddit thread, which quickly garnered a ton of reactions. "American visitor here. It's probably the worst I’ve seen anywhere including New York or D.C. or L.A.

That's 48 per cent of all possible World Series berths, with the other two American League Divisions making up the remaining 52 per cent.MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred was on an ESPN broadcast on Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend, and explored the possibility of expansion teams, which could also lead to a major reimagining of what the MLB's divisional structure could look like.MLB commissioner Rob...
