MEXICO CITY, October 20 (EL UNIVERSAL).- The time has come. After 43 years, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees will meet again in the World Series for the <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/shohei-ohtani-is-ready-to-be-the-face-of-major-league-baseball/" title="Shohei Ohtani is ready to be the face of major league baseball”>Major League Baseball championship. The dream final, the mother of all battles for the champion title, in a rivalry that today pits them against each other for the twelfth time.
The Dodgers and Yankees are the teams that have faced each other the most times in a World Series, and two of the teams that have won the most championships. On the one hand, the Bronx Bombers top the list with 27 rings and the Angelenos occupy the sixth place with seven trophies.
The rivalry between these two great franchises has its origins in the beginnings of each team. Today it is impossible not to relate the Dodgers to Los Angeles, but their story was born in Brooklyn, while the Yankees were in the Bronx. Two New York teams, fighting to be the pride of the city. In 1958, they made their move to Los Angeles.
Now, after having left the Guardians and the Mets on the road, they will star in a new battle in the World Series with more than one reason for fans to be guaranteed to see a spectacle.
It’s about seeing Shohei Ohtani against Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts against Giancarlo Stanton. For being the Yankees’ return to a World Series after that championship in 2009, or for being the Dodgers’ third appearance in 10 years, with the championship in 2020 as a reward for perseverance.
