Although we don't know who will play in the World Series, Fox has agreed to delay the first pitch of game 6 (if there is one) to air a half hour Barack Obama ad.
Fox said in a statement:
"Fox will accommodate Senator Obama's desire to communicate with voters in this longform format."
Furthermore, Fox went on to say that
"We are pleased that Major League Baseball has agreed to delay the first pitch of World Series Game 6 for a few minutes in order for Fox to carry his (Barack Obama's) program on Oct. 29. If requested, the network would be willing to make similar time available to Senator McCain's campaign."
This is not the first time in this campaign that a sports game's start time has been moves. You may recall that in September the NFL moved the start of the season opener between the Washington Redskins and New York Giants in order to ensure that the game would be completed by the time John McCain accepted the Republican party's presidential nomination.
