River Series Revived!

In an absolutely stunning reversal, the St. Louis Cardinals have decided to allow the Octopus League to play the 2004 River Series in Busch Stadium after all.

A spokesman for the Major League team announced, "In light of Mr. Nigel Benvuneto's death, we thought it only fair to the Octopus League fan, teams, players, coaches, and employees that the Octopus League be allowed to play their championship game in St. Louis this year."

No word yet on whether or not the league will continue to be able to play the River Series in subsequent years, or even if the Octopus itself will continue to swim in the world of professional sports.

But for this year at least, we will find out who the true champions are, as the Miami Vices and the San Diego Bishops get set to square off in the inaugural River Series.

Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster online.

The Game 1 matchup is expected to feature the two best pitchers in the Octopus League, Allen Davidson of the Miami Vices and Heriberto Perez of the San Diego Bishops.
