It’s Los Angeles vs. New York. They meet once again in a World Series Classic for the first time since 1981. On the first day of the start of the series, my former college roomie —born and bred in Brooklyn— and I had the following exchange:
Me: “Go Dodgers!!!”
Roomie: “Damn the Dodgers.!!! We supported them through all the bad years. And then they finally win the World Series and they pack up and move to California. The hell with them and their progeny!!!”
