A little nugget from the World Series; When was the last time the Dodgers and the Red Sox met in the World Series?

1916? Promos been saying over a century...
1916 is correct. I was surprised it's been so long. One would think at least one other time since 1916 the two teams would have played in the fall classic. I bet there have been a few times over the years the two were close to making it to the World Series but one or both got eliminated from the LCS.

Good job.

Thanks. Got lucky, just guessed. Since they said on the radio it’s over a century, I just added 2 years. Don’t know why I settled on 1916...

I couldn't believe that when I heard it on the radio earlier this week. Just blew my mind
