It's been over 40 years since one of the greatest sports rivalry's played each other in the WS. Each team has a 50+ HR leader,that's never happened before....

darpar Any baseball fans here........doubt it!

Once was. Lived in St. Louis for 8 years and if they were in the playoffs I'd watch. But age has dulled my enthusiasm for sports. I do still watch quite a bit of college football, an occasional NFL game, an occasional MLB game, and an occasional Caitlin Clark basketball game. And sometimes golf too!

Still a baseball fan.....I watch Cleveland Indians / Guardians games all season long, and really enjoyed the
playoffs (Until they ran into the Stinkin' Yankees, LOL!). I'll probably watch at least some of the World Series,
b/c it's the classic Yankees / Dodgers rematch that I remember from when I was a kid....

KCee I love World Series baseball...the rest I can take it or leave it.

I'm that way too, 162 games is just way too long of a season....hell it's almost Nov.!

darpar "I'm that way too, 162 games is just way too long of a season....hell it's almost Nov.!"

The greedy owners have helped to ruin things by lenghening the season, eliminating double headers (two games for the price of one!), and adding layers of playoffs to make the season longer. Wondering when a November World Series game will have to be postponed b/c of snow on the ground!!

fatshot So, are still talking about baseball here? NFL, NHL, NBA; they are all too long!

Once the Tigers were eliminated baseball was dead to me.

sdandrea1 I don't care about either team, but the Danny DeVito mojo is hard to resist.

Yep I'm a big one!!
Growing up in the South Mantle was still my guy, loved Yogi and Whitey Ford so I'm going Yankees.

Yankees fan since the late 70s. Can’t stand baseball anymore, it’s all homers and strikeouts. I can’t understand the new analytics. I can’t see how you are not better off with Wade Boggs and Tony Gwynn hitters than a team of Dave Kingmans

Go Dodgers! Being a life-long Blue Jay's fan, I cannot root for the Yankees.
I will be watching.

candukid Isn’t it weird being the only Canadien team in baseball?

darpar

Walk off grand slam for Freddie Freeman bottom of tenth, doesn't get any better than this!

What a game!!!!

FauxAmish

Just got done texting Buzzer buddy Jamz who lives in LA. What a start to the series. Have to congratulate that start being a baseball fan, and a life long Yankee.
Tomorrow is another game.

Highlight reel ending!!! Holy SHIT!

darpar

sdandrea1 Highlight reel ending!!

For sure......now the rest of the series has a LOT to live up to!

Good game. Not as exciting or important as last year's Rangers/Diamondback World Series, but I'll still watch this one.😁

I grew up a Yankee fan, Mickey Mantle was my hero. Over the years I've slowly lost interest in the Yankees. I've
become a Twins fan since they came to Minnesota but when push comes to shove it seems I still kind of root
for the Yankees when the Twins are not involved. I was somewhat shocked to discover that while watching the
game last night.

I grew up a Dodger die hard, gramps used to take me to the LA Coliseum to see the Dodgers play when they first
moved west to LA from Brooklyn. The Coliseum is HUGE and not made for baseball as the outfield boundary was
just a short chain link fence.....left field wall was only 250ft. from home plate,looked more like a Little League park
with a lot of seats!
Got to see Koufax,Drysdale,Rosboro,Duke Snider,Wally Moon etc......but even living in So Cal, Mickey Mantle and
Rocky Colavito (4 homers in one game) , were the two ball players I followed the most.
