Dodgers: Revisiting the Dodgers-Yankees 1981 World Series

The Dodgers are renewing their historic rivalry with the Yankees this weekend. The two clubs have met up eleven times in the World Series and the Yankees have won eight times. Despite that big advantage, the last time they battled in the World Series, the Dodgers won back in 1981. That was after two losses to the Yankees in the 1977 and 1978 World Series. A reminder to current Dodgers that they too can overcome the past two WS defeats.
