NEW YORK -- For the New York Yankees, the franchise with the richest history in baseball, to win their 28th World Series, and their first since 2009, they will have to make history.
No team has ever overcome a 3-0 series deficit to win the World Series. Just one club -- the Boston Red Sox against them in the American League Championship Series two decades ago -- has completed the comeback in a postseason at all. But that's where the Yankees, whose offense has largely vanished on the grandest stage, find themselves after falling 4-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium on Monday.
