2024 World Series Schedule...and a little context.

After 43 Years, Yankees and Dodgers Resume Their World Series Rivalry

From the Bronx to Brooklyn to Los Angeles, the Yankees-Dodgers rivalry has produced some of baseball’s most memorable moments: spectacular catches, batting fireworks, even a perfect game. The franchises have met 11 times in the World Series, the most of any two teams.

It remains to be seen if Ohtani vs. Judge and Yamamoto vs. Rodón can match Robinson vs. Berra and Koufax vs. Mantle. But after 43 years without a matchup, one of baseball’s most storied rivalries is back on the biggest stage.

Here is a look at the 11 previous World Series matchups.

I just can't stand watching Shrek play. $$$ vs $$$. So, I'll just have to ignore it all and do something else with my time.

East coast vs West coast rivalry, Baby

A New York World Series would generally be a sleeper for the West coat

What are they thinking? Heck, as the season gets longer and longer I'm looking forward to a Thanksgiving Day World Series game. It would make a nice change from football.
