  Speaker 1: that coming your way here in a little bit. But
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: also we're going to preview the World Series. Gene Watson,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: our MLB insider in the Chicago White Sox front office
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: who correctly predicted that it would be the Dodgers against
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the Yankees once he got to the NLC. Yes, now,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: when the playoffs began, he had the padres and guardians
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: but after the Padres who won the wild Card sweeping Atlanta,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: then after they lost to the Dodgers. I told him
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: he could have a chance to waffle and reconnect, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: he did and picked Los Angeles, and he came off
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: as Guardians pick, even though they had won their division series.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Came off of that and said he was going to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: go with the Yankees to win. So it is the
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Yankees and the Dodgers and they're playing. They will be
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: meeting in the World Series for the twelfth time. That's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: more than any other two teams have faced off against
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: one another. So it'll be and but it's the first
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: time since nineteen eighty one. And if you go back
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: over the history of those teams, the Yankees dominated it
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: for many years. Here was an interesting number I think
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I saw the Yankees and Dodgers met. I think it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: was eleven times in forty years. That's a lot. Between
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: nineteen forty one and nineteen eighty one. They met eleven times.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: First time they met nineteen forty one. Yankees won it
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in five games, had two very memorable moments in it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: One in I believe it was Game three. Bill Bevins,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: who had been kind of a journeyman Guy had carried
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a no hitter into the ninth even though he had
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: allowed one run, had a no hitter going, and the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Dodgers broke it up with a cookie lava jetto double
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: off the wall at Ebbittsfield, and the Dodgers won that game.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But the very next game was when it looked like
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers were gonna win. They were up in the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: ninth and a drop third strike allowed a runner to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: reach and the Yankees ended up I think scoring three
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: runs in the inning, and they won that anyway. They
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: then wrapped up the series the next day they won
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in five games. They met in nineteen forty seven. That
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was actually the Bevans no hitters nineteen forty seven, not
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: forty one. In forty seven, Bevans carried the no hitter
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: into the ninth and the Dodgers beat him. But also
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in nineteen forty seven, there's this incredible catch that Aljianfrido,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the center fielder, made right at the four fifteen mark
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: there in the canyons in centerfield Yankee Stadium, which would
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have been a three run homer from Joe DiMaggio, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he hauled it down and I believe in Game six,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and Demaggio in what was described as the only show
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: of emotion ever in his entire Major league career, we
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: see him kick the dirt like right near second base.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: He was rounding second when it was caught or nearing second.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But the Yankees won that in seven games nineteen forty nine,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: each team won a game, the first two games by
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a one to nothing final score. Game one, game two,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yankees won, the next three they won. Nineteen fifty two,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yankees won it six games. What preserved it diving in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a little pop up with a young second basement by
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the name of Billy Martin nineteen fifty three. Actually, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: guess was the Billy Martin when that was in six games.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: In seven games and fifty two, the Yankees won, So
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they won all these in a row. The Dodgers finally
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: broke through in nineteen fifty five, Brooklyn's only World championship.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: They used to say, wait till next year. Next year
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: finally arrived. The Dodgers won it in seven games. In
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: fifty five, Sandy Amios with a great running catch near
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the wall to take away what would have been a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: double to give the Yankees the lead or a triple
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: off the bat of Yogi Bearra, but he made the catch,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and they said he never would have made the catch
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: had he not been left handed with the glove on
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the right hand running toward the foul pole that made
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the catch. Yankees came back the next year in fifty
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: six and beat him in seven games. Highlighted Game five
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the only perfect game World Series history, and Don Larson
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: did that. A journeyman did that in Game five. The
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: next time they met, the Dodgers were in Los Angeles.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It was nineteen sixty three and La was Sandy Kofax.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Don Drysdale swept the Yankees, who had Mickey Mantle of course,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and Roger Marrison all of those, but the Dodgers swept them.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: See only time one side has swept the other that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: they met twice in nineteen seventy seven to seventy eight,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: back to back years. Great ESPN thirty for thirty documentary
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: called the Bronx Zoo and it was something else and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson hits the five home runs. In seventy seven
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and seventy eight they went again. So the Yankees won
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: those two back to back, but in the last time
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: they met nineteen eighty one was the strike year, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers dropped the first two games of the series
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in New York and then won four straight, becoming the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: first team in MLB history two win four consecutive games
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to win a World Series after dropping the first two.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So they met at times. The Yankees have won eight
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of those, but since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the last four times that they've met have been when
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers played in LA. They've split those four, so
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that sets the backdrop for that. So's that's how to be,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and we'll see how it goes. Starting Friday night in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Games one and two Friday and Saturday at
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium. Sunday's a travel day. They'll play Monday Tuesday.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: If necessary, Wednesday Game five in the Bronx at the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. If it has to go back to LA
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for a game six, there'd be a travel day on Thursday.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: They would play Friday, November first, and if they have
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a final game, it would be Saturday. A seventh game
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: would be Saturday, November second. So it's set the stage
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: for that. But how did they get there? And who
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: could win this thing? Coming up. We'll visit with Gene Watson,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: our MLB insider, to talk about it, and then we're
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: going to hear more from Long One, said coach Steve Sarkesan.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: More on the NFL, More coming up on sports Radio
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: AM thirteen, under the Zone and the iHeartRadio app.
