As the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees marched their way through the postseason, Kevin Cook couldn’t help but think about the possibility. “I was really fired up, I would have loved to see that,” he told DodgerBlue.com of a potential Dodgers-Yankees matchup in the World Series.
While Los Angeles upheld their end of the bargain by reaching the Fall Classic for the first time since 1988, the Yankees fell short in seven games in the American League Championship Series. Albeit heavily in favor of the Yankees, the two clubs share a rich postseason history.
They met in the World Series for the first time in 1941.
