In 1964, the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals played in the World Series. It was more than just a game. It was a battle between the older American culture and the modern culture that evolved postwar.

When the Cardinals began to adjust according to society, the Yankees were not as eager to alter their ways (Halberstam 54-55).
