2121 World Series: New York Mets vs. New York Yankees

This is the third time that we have a Subway Series: The Yankees won in 2112 and 2115. The Yankees are 5-0 in the World Series, and the Mets are 0-5, so we know what is at stake here. Also, the American League's 15-year winning streak is on the line.

After all of these years, the Mets are finally World Series Champions! They came back from a 3-1 series deficit to shock the Yankees, and they clinched in their enemy's backyard. The Mets also won two incredible extra inning games to keep give them a chance in this series. If not for that 16-inning victory in Game 3, the Yankees probably would have swept the Mets. It took the Mets 17 playoff appearances and 6 World Series appearances, but they are finally the #1 baseball team in the world. Also, the American League's streak of 15 World Series wins in a row has come to an end.
