World Series Repeats
The White Sox and Astros begin the World Series tomorrow night. Obviously , both clubs did not play in last years's series. I wondered how often the same two teams have met in consecutive fall classics (winners in bold).

While it's entirely unsurprising, it sickens me to see the Yankees appear so many times on that list.
yeah, sorry about that!
off the top of my head, i figured the last time would have been during the nyy-nyg-bkn era. (i completely forgot about 76-77.)
Definitely not surprised that the Yankees dominate that list. That's what 26 World Championships will do. I can sum it up in one word: BORING. [Yawn]
Times the Sox and Yanks appeared in consecutive World Series:
3. ('46-'47; '75-'76; 2003-2004.)
Just throwin' that out there because I'd never thought of it before.
