Every Friday I’ve been releasing ‘A Brief History’ podcast about the Yankees. It started as a way to stay sane during quarantine, but evolved into something that I look forward to researching each week.
The most recent episode is part one of two. covers the great New York baseball rivalries starting at the turn of the 20th century, all the way up to the early 1950s. In there lies the first ever All- New York World Series — in other words, the first “Subway Series.”
Yankees-Giants Rivalry
Yanks-Dodgers is thought of as the more classic New York baseball rivalry because of their numerous match-ups in the 1940s and ’50s, as well as recognizable star power — Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson and Duke Snider, to name a few.
