- World Series. Freddie Freeman sets Yankee Stadium ablaze with record-tying swing
For the first time since 1981, and for the 12th time in history, the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers will face off in the World Series to determine the 2024 MLB champion.
This matchup now becomes the most frequent rivalry in U.S. professional sports to decide a title, surpassing the NBA Finals battles between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, who have faced off for the championship 11 times.
It's East Coast vs. West Coast, North vs. South, but more than that, it's a dream showdown for baseball fans - a World Series that represents far more than just a game.
The importance of the Yankees and Dodgers in American sports extends beyond the borders of the nation and even the continent.
These two franchises represent excellence, steeped in a rich history that goes back decades, with roots in the same city.
The Birth of the Yankees vs Dodgers Rivalry
The New York Highlanders were established in 1903 and became known as the Yankees in 1913. Meanwhile, the Dodgers were founded in Brooklyn, New York, as the Brooklyn Atlantics in 1883. It wasn't until 1932 that they adopted their current name.
In 1958, the Dodgers moved from New York to Los Angeles, but before their departure, the Dodgers and Yankees had already solidified their fierce rivalry, facing off in seven World Series. The Bronx Bombers won six of those, firmly establishing their dominance in New York City.
Since the Dodgers moved across the country, the two teams have met in the World Series four more times, with each winning two championships.
The last of these encounters took place in 1981 when the Dodgers, led by manager Tom Lasorda, lost the first two games of the series before Mexican pitcher Fernando Valenzuela took the mound in Game 3.
Valenzuela, who would go on to win both Rookie of the Year and the National League Cy Young Award that season, secured the Dodgers' victory in Game 3 and helped them win the series.
That remains the most recent chapter in one of the most iconic rivalries in American sports.
