Anybody here a fan of America's national pastime, as it it has been referred to all my life? In case you didn't know, we have probably the most storied rivalry in the sport's history combating one another in the Fall Classic later this month, starting this Friday evening. Once again, it is the Yankees v. the Dodgers which, at least for the last 50+ years, means it is a World Series played in the two biggest cities of the nation, one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast. But the rivalry is even more glorious since the team now known as the Los Angeles Dodgers (which was for many decades before the move to Los Angeles known as the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Brooklyn Dodgers had many great battles with the New York Yankees even before the team was moved to California (along with the New York Giants, who became the San Francisco Giants) in the late 1950s. So, a battle between these teams is about as good as he gets, but it is even better this go around because the New York Yankees have the American League most valuable player in Aaron Judge, while the Los Angeles Dodgers boast the most valuable player in the National League in the Japanese phenom, Shohei Ohtani. It is going to be a cracking World Series and I hope there are some fans of baseball here who will be commenting throughout. I am well aware of the many quality players on both teams apart from the two I mentioned, but I know those two are probably the most well-known amongst casually interested baseball fans. I personally do not care who wins – – the sport of baseball is the winner here!
