    I want to say Tommy John is one. I know he played for the Dodgers in 77/78. I think he hung on with the Yankees long enough to get to the 81 Series, but not sure.

    Tommy John is one. He actually played long enough to return to the Yankees in the late 1980s.

    An old school match up
    Best record in each league
    two biggest markets
    Both MVPs this year
    5 total MVPs

    This will be fun 

    also the reason some people hate it.

    I don’t care for either stadium, especially looking at the poofy seats in NY or the dopes behind home plate in LA.

    get it done, Evil Empire East.

    Strawberry was injured with the Dodgers and was on the Yankees in 1996, 1999, also 1998 but he didn't play in that World Series because of colon cancer.

    After years of declining interest in baseball its nice to see this buzz and engagement!

    I don't have a dog in the fight between the teams just hoping for a hard fought series with some memorable moments

    As a very young man, maybe 12 or 13, I decided that since the Cubs suck, and may never win a World Series in my lifetime, I needed to pick another team to follow and cheer for. The decision was a no brainer, Go Yankees! It's real easy to follow a winning franchise.

    That said. I really wouldn't mind if Ohtani won his 1st World Series ring.

    Yeah, I knew he had two stints in NY, just didn't remember if his first stint was done by 81.

    That should have been a home run and needing indisputable evidence it wasn’t
