The best photos from the week in sports: 10/13 - 10/20

No matter your preferred sport, this past week had some excitement for everyone.

We're mere days away from Game 1 of the World Series after several dramatic rounds of postseason play. The Los Angeles Dodgers are making their first appearance in the Fall Classic since 1988 thanks to fiery play from Yasiel Puig, Justin Turner and the rest of their stacked roster. As of Friday, the American League champion has yet to be decided.

The NBA season got off to a somber start as new Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward suffered a devastating ankle injury that will likely keep him off the court for the rest of the season.

In football, another wild week reminded us once again that anything can happen -- including the strange sight of a potential game-altering touchdown being overturned and becoming a fumble instead.

Click through the slideshow above to see photos from all of these events and more, and be sure to check back next weekend for our selection of the best shots from the coming week's action.
