With another game comes more time to talk about the sex appeal of some of the star players. There's an online poll that's asking fans which World Series star is sexiest, and some may be surprised by the results.
Here's the lineup: Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter and third baseman Alex Rodriguez, and Philadelphia pitcher Cole Hamels and second baseman Chase Utley.
"Derek Jeter – he's hot, yes he is," Kimberly Hayes said.
"No, I don't like those guys, not so hot," said one New Yorker.
And why not?
"Because they got the 'P' on their hats there - very unsexy," she said.
"I like Utley," Manhasset resident Anne Marie Ford-Ardito said. "Doesn't he have his hair slicked back on TV? He's sexy!"
Utley's blue eyes seem to captivate a lot of ladies.
"I think when you see eyes like this gentleman has, you feel a lot of love coming through," Montreal resident Halyna Wolinska said.
Many were surprised that Jeter didn't win the poll hands-down, and Frank Erdman thought women would go for the $275 million man.
"Who's got more money? A-Rod," Erdman, of Bellmore, Long Island, said.
However, Rodriguez came in last on the street and in the poll.
So what about the millions of regular guys, the ones who aren't star ballplayers? Women who talked to CBS 2 made sure to mention what they find sexy about all men.
"Personality and brains," Hayes said.
"Mainly honesty, a clean mind," Pleasonton, California resident Estella Rodriguez said.
"When they like animals – I'm an animal person, I love animals," said Palisades Park resident Bobbi Walker.
"For one thing, they must be taller than me, I suppose," Crown Heights resident Kezia McShine said. "I don't like having to look down on them."
"To me, there's nothing more sexy than to know that you're really loved by the man you're with," Wolinska said.
Francesca Rappoport knows that feeling. She's 91 years old, and her husband, David, is 95. Their son Errol says they're the most loving, sexy couple you'll ever meet.
"They sit in the living room, they hold hands," he said. "When they go out, they hold hands – they always have to have that contact."
Now that's sexy. The Rappaport's will soon be celebrating their 71st wedding anniversary.
As far as sexiest World Series star, Chase Utley is the favorite, with 33 percent of the vote. Derek Jeter came a close second at 29 percent. Cole Hamels raked in 20 percent of the vote, while Alex Rodriguez found himself the favorite of 18 percent of those polled.
