Year after year, when players from both teams shake hands at the end of a championship match, they promise to see each other again, but the reality is that it rarely happens.
In a time where competitiveness in sports leagues is at its highest point in history, it is practically impossible for rematches in finals to take place in consecutive years.
In Major League Baseball it hasn’t happened since the Yankees won the two-time championship by defeating the Dodgers in the 1977 and 1978 seasons.
For the first time in more than 40 years, that possibility is so great that in Las Vegas they are betting that the Astros and Phillies will meet again for the commissioner’s trophy like they did last year.
