Baseball Opens Tomorrow March 25th

Tomorrow baseball “camps” in San Francisco, with a redux of seven previous World Series, none since ’62 between the Yankees (27 titles, however, just one since winning an incredible 4 in 5 seasons (’96-2000), under their underappreciated by fans, Steinbrenner, and the media, manager Joe Torre) and San Francisco nee New York Giants (a so far lesser team than 1960’s teams with Willies, Juan, “Cha Cha” and Gaylord that was sans a crown, Bruce Bochy managed S.F. teams racked up a tremendous 3 titles in 5 seasons, all in the even years between 2010, when they ended a 56 year title drought and 2014, however, not a serious or really any whiff since).

Neither Torre or Bochy (tied with Walt Alston with 4 titles, all with the Dodgers–Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are big plurality favorites, still odds against underdogs, to tie them behind only Casey Stengel, Joe McCarthy (7 each and Connie Mack (5)) are there, though Bochy got “his fourth” with Texas (Rangers) in 2023, he is still there, (“Tex” being the team S.F. 5’d in 2010 to end their title drought).

After the Giants won the first two W.S. clashes vs their then tenants at the Polo Grounds in 1921 and 1922, Yankee Stadium opened in 1923 and that year the Yankees began what is a current 5 W.S. wins streak vs the Giants, beating the New York version again in ’36,’37,’51 and ’62.
