The 120th edition of the World Series kicks off tonight with a matchup between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, who have met in the World Series not once, not twice, but 12 times in MLB history (though eight of those matchups took place pre-1958 when the Dodgers were still Brooklyn residents).
There’s some extra excitement in the matchup this year, though, as we’ll be able to see two players heavily favored to take home this year’s MVP trophies for their respective leagues, two-time NL MVP Shohei Ohtani and one-time AL MVP, Yankees captain Aaron Judge.
