New York Yankees at Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of baseball's 120th Fall Classic. From Dodger Stadium. The 12th edition of this iconic World Series matchup is the first since L.A.'s win in 1981, and stars the AL and NL home run kings (first time since Mantle-Snider in '56), as Yanks OF Aaron Judge (58 HRs) and Dodgers DH Shohei Ohtani (54) take their first swings on the game's grandest stage. New York won in 1941, '47, '49, '52, '53, '56, '77 and '78; the Dodgers in '55, '63 and '81.
