The last time the Yankees and Phillies competed in a high-stakes setting, the Yankees copped the 2009 World Series title and christened the latest rendition of Yankee Stadium in a grand way.
Nine years later, the teams separated by 95 miles — in different leagues but with very demanding fan bases — are competing for left-handed free agent Patrick Corbin.
The Phillies met with the 29-year-old pitcher on Tuesday — even posting a picture of him on a screen in left field at Citizens Bank Park, wearing a Phillies cap.
