Doug Gottlieb: "Dodgers-Yankees is good for baseball. Much like Caitlin Clark still playing would have been good for the WNBA. Sabrina Ionescu is tremendous, but Sabrina hits a logo jumpshot in the Finals and nobody cares or pays attention. If it was Caitlin Clark, we would be going crazy today. The same thing I believe for baseball. Like many of you, I don't recall anything about last year's World Series. I don't know if this year's World Series will resonate with me if it's Yankees-Dodgers, but I'll damn sure watch, and so will most of my friends. The sport so desperately needs it because every year feels like it chips away at America's Pasttime, where it feels like a past time."
Doug Gottlieb reacts to the Dodgers taking a 2-1 series lead in the NLCS. Doug explains why Major League Baseball desperately needs the Dodgers and Yankees to meet in the World Series to reinvigorate national interest in the sport.
