It starts Friday, when I was a kid the Yankees and Dodgers were must see TV, but they were in the same city. Some facts I actually got to witness growing up:
-Bobby Richardson still holds the Series RBI record with 12.
-Whitey Ford hold the World Series record for pitching 29 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
-Mickey Mantle hold the record for most HR’s with 18 and most strikeouts with 54. Might have the most curfew violations too.
Side note. In 1966 I was working for the Wiesbaden AFB gym (Germany) and Whitey Ford came over to do a clinic with a few other players. I got to play a half court basketball game with him on my team, he kept yelling at me to quit passing and shoot. I think he was a bit intimidating.
