The New York Yankees and New York Mets are both just four wins away from a potential Subway Series matchup in the World Series, something that hasn’t happened in 24 years. With both teams advancing to their respective Championship Series, the city of New York is buzzing with excitement at the prospect of a rematch of the 2000 World Series, which the Yankees won.
The Mets, led by Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo, secured their place in the NLCS after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies. They will face either the San Diego Padres or Los Angeles Dodgers. Meanwhile, the Yankees, who beat the Kansas City Royals to reach the ALCS, are set to face either Cleveland or Detroit.
This is the first time since 2000 that both New York teams have reached this stage of the playoffs. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, formerly with the Yankees, expressed his excitement, as did Yankees star Aaron Judge, who called it an exciting time for New York.
The Mets and Yankees have both had successful seasons, with the Mets sweeping the regular-season Subway Series meetings, outscoring the Yankees 36-14. Now, both teams are on the brink of a dream World Series showdown, with their high payrolls and star-studded rosters adding to the anticipation.
