I Give in

Since even baseballreference.com is getting into the "classic World Series matchup" theme by highlighting 1934 and 1968 on the homepage, I figured I would do a total reversal on my disdain for such things and do my own Page2-style "How has the world compared to the other times these franchises played?" thingy. (Additions welcome.)
