Broadway vs. Hollywood. Subway vs. Freeway. Judge vs. Ohtani. It’s a classic matchup for the Fall Classic.
FILE - Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Johnny Podres is lifted by catcher Roy Campanella after the final out of the seventh and deciding game of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, Oct. 4, 1955, in New York. New York neighbors who became cross-country rivals, the Yankees and Dodgers renew their starry struggle in the World Series for the first time in 43 years.
Yankees pinstripes vs. Dodgers Pantone 294. The Bronx Bombers vs. the Dem Bums' descendants. The granite-and-limestone of new Yankee Stadium on chilly autumn nights vs. Dodger Stadium in sunny Chavez Ravine, with the San Gabriel Mountains beyond the pavilions. Mickey Owen, Al Gionfriddo, Cookie Lavagetto, Sandy Amoros, Johnny Podres, Don Larsen, Sandy Koufax, and Reggie Jackson created indelible images in the matchup, which started in 1941 with one of the wackiest World Series turns.
New York beat the Dodgers again in 1949, 1952, and 1953, frustrating the fans in Flatbush, but Brooklyn finally won the title in 1955 when Podres pitched a Game 7 shutout at Yankee Stadium and Gil Hodges drove in both runs. Amoros preserved the lead when he made a running catch of Yogi Berra's sixth-inning drive in the left-field corner with two on and relayed to shortstop Pee Wee Reese, who threw to Hodges at first and doubled up Gil McDougald.
