Yankees, Dodgers ready to provide baseball with another chapter

The day was Oct. 5, but it felt like the Fourth of July, in part because of the unseasonably 85-degree heat and humidity, but also because most of the afternoon was a two-and-a-half-hour civic celebration. The Dodgers, a local nine-team team, rallied from an early […]
