There have been two subway series not involving New York teams.

In 1906 the White Sox and the Cubs (I'm not sure whether they used
those nicknames back then) won their respective leagues.  The Cubs
won 116 games and were in first place by 20 games!  The Sox won the
series, though, 4 games to 2.

In 1944 the St. Louis Browns and the Cardinals faced each other, the
Cardinals winning, 4 games to 2.

There have been an incredible 13 subway series involving New York teams
plus 4 between the Yankees and the L.A. Dodgers and 1 between the
Yankees and the S.F. Giants.
