Welcome back, World Series! Dodgers set up epic duel with Yankees
LA TimesHome, after three rocky Octobers and two embarrassing collapses and deep blue scads of doubt. Beginning Friday at Dodger Stadium, baseball’s two most legendary franchises will meet for the 12th time in a World Series, the most prolific Series matchup in baseball history even though they haven’t shared this stage in 43 years. “I think if you’re talking about collective at-bats, the pitching, all that stuff, yeah, it’s hard to remember a team playing better team baseball than we’re playing right now, yeah,” he said. “I just want to try to do my job and get our players to win baseball games and win baseball games for the Dodgers, that’s it.” They’ve won plenty this season, as well they should. “The talent is obvious but if you watch the way these guys prepare, the way they compete, it’s no surprise that we’re four wins away from the ultimate goal,” shouted Friedman during the on-field celebration.
