The 120th World Series begins tonight in Los Angeles.
It will be the 12th time the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees have met in the fall classic. An average of once per decade. In reality, it's been 43 years since the two teams clashed in October, and half of those meetings occurred in a 10-year mid-20th century span. Yes, from 1947-1956, the Bums and Bombers battled six times -- back in the good old days, when the sport enjoyed a robust competitive balance that no longer exists.
