World Series Rivals depicts the crosstown rivalry between the Yankees and the Dodgers. During the 1950's, the Yankees played in eight World Series, including four against the Dodgers, who beat the Yankees once. The transit token is a reminder that these intra-city match-ups were known as "subway series."
