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 baseballs 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 baseballs 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.
