Baseball Post-Season Rematches This Past Weekend

The past weekend in baseball had just less than half (7) post-season rematches, in the 15 series played.

Within the National League, Atlanta/New York Mets was a redux of NLCS played 30 years apart in 1969 and 1999.

Meanwhile one level of advancement lower in each case, the Dodgers/Nationals was a 2016 division series rematch.

Within the American League, there was a World Series redux, (Houston vs the Chicago White Sox) and three series that matched teams that had clashed in post-season entities as advanced as the ALCS.

Those were Tigers/Royals, A’s/Red Sox and Indians/Orioles.

Additionally, the one interleague series was a World Series redux between the Giants and Angels.

Later in the week, I will post more notes on the history involved concerning the past post-season battles among some of those teams.
