RICHMOND, Va. -- The Pirates were perhaps the most dominant team of the early days of the National League, and pennant winners in three straight seasons from 1901-03 ... which makes their failure to win the inaugural World Series all the more stunning and confounding.
As for 2024's edition of the fall classic, it certainly seems like it's gonna come down to the Yankees and Dodgers, which is ... about as boring, rote, and anticlimactic a matchup as I can imagine. Such a great sport. Such a miserable system.
