amazing that this is the first match up of these 2 since 1981. I started following the MLB around 1977 and in those first 5 years there were 3 dodgers-yankees series, none since!
also an interesting factoid they mentioned about this being the first matchup of the 2 HR kings since Duke Snider v Mickey Mantle!

Yes, Blue Monday!! I was a huge Dodgers fan as a kid and they are still my favourite NL team. We watched this game as an entire junior high in the gym. I knew better than to cheer the out loud when Monday homered but I floated home from school that day!!
I loathe the Yankees. They caused me a lot of pain as a child. Reggie Jackson and his fat butt will always be hated by me!! Go Dodgers!!
