No interleague series has as much historical allure as the Yankees battling the Dodgers. Those franchises met in the World Series in 1941, ’47, ’49, ’52, ’53, ’55 and ’56 when the Dodgers resided in Brooklyn, and in ’63, ’77, ’78 and ’81 after their move west.
The latest three-game renewal begins Friday night at Chavez Ravine, a possible prelude to a long overdue World Series reunion this October.
Of course, the Astros likely will have a lot to say about that. And anything can happen in the playoffs!
