For a Day, Chicago Becomes a New York Kind of Town (NY Times)

From The New York Times:

On this day in the Windy City, there was wall-to-wall baseball, with both New York teams - Yanks & Mets in town on the same day to play the Chicago teams (Mets vs. Cubs in a National League day game and the Yanks at the White Sox at night).

" The El-way Series".

Naturally, the Cubs and the Mets fans flocked to Wrigley, but there were some Yankees and White Sox fans at the first act of this rare two-act play. The last time the Yankees and Mets both played in Chicago on the same day was in 1980.
