For anyone who is student of the game, it is useful to recall that when the Dodgers swept the Yankees in the World Series of 1963, they used the exact same lineup each and every game. These were the Yankees of Mantle, Maris, Howard, Richardson and Boyer fame, and rather than worry about matchups, lefty vs righty, fielding shifts and launch angles, the Dodgers prevailed with excellent pitching, which, as we know, always bests good hitting.
