No matter how you reach the Fall Classic, dreams are made at the World Series. Once in a while, the players create something legendary.
That's the case with the 1962 World Series. Let's set the scene. The Giants have won their first National League Pennant since moving to San Francisco, although they needed a three game play-off series against the LA Dodgers. The Yankees have won five of the last ten World Series, including a win in the previous year.
This World Series has been heavily disrupted. Thanks to the NL play-off the first game was pushed back 24 hours. Rain in both New York and San Francisco saw both Game 5 and Game 6 pushed back. As the curtain rises on Game 7, the teams have been duking it out over 13 days.
Now everything is on the line. The dream is there, the legend awaits.
