The Yankees and the Mets have spent four months together atop the East divisions of the American and National Leagues. They played close games on four nights in two boroughs this summer, with four weeks in between. The Mets swept the Yankees in Queens, the Yankees swept the Mets in the Bronx. The final hitter even flied out to center field, same as it was way back when.
That was in the Subway Series — the capitalized version, in 2000, when the Yankees beat the Mets in a five-game World Series that was riveting from first pitch to last.
