This weekend, the Los Angeles Dodgers head to the Bronx for a marquee series against the New York Yankees, one of baseball’s oldest rivalries.
When the Dodgers were in Brooklyn, they faced the Yankees in the World Series eight times.
Since the relocation, the two teams have met three times in the Fall Classic, and the 11 meetings are the most ever between the two teams, despite not meeting since 1981.
