This weekend the New York Yankees travel to Chicago to take on the defending World Champion Chicago Cubs. The two teams will be meeting for only the fifth regular season series ever . The Yankees – Cubs World Series also took place in 1932 and 1938. This is the first time that the Yankees are going up against a defending champion Cubs team, since there hasn’t been a Cubs World Series winner since 1908 and the Yankees (then Highlanders) were pretty bad back then. And, of course, there was no interleague play at the time either.
It will certainly be entertaining if Aaron Judge sends some rockets into Wrigleyville.
