This year's World Series between the Yankees and Phillies marks a rematch -- 59 years later -- of the 1950 Fall Classic won by the Yankees in a four-game sweep. Ithaca's connection to a Yankees-Phillies World Series? Eddie Sawyer '35, the Phillies manager in 1950 and a charter member of the Ithaca College Hall of Fame. While you may hear Sawyer mentioned during this year's World Series coverage, you probably won't see an ad like this (featuring Sawyer in the upper left-hand panel).
