Explained simply
The SEC is the main league for top-level college football in the south-eastern United States. LSU and Alabama are two of its best-known teams, and their games often draw large audiences; the league helps set the schedule, including which games get prominent evening slots.
Major League Baseball (MLB) is the top professional baseball league in the United States and Canada. A lockout is a work stoppage in which team owners prevent players from working during a dispute, often over pay or working conditions; it can disrupt the sport’s season and negotiations. Halloween falls on 31 October, while clocks in the US and UK change seasonally, though on different dates.
