The 2024 World Series, the 120th edition of Major League Baseball's championship, ran from October 25 to 30, pitting the New York Yankees against the Los Angeles Dodgers in their first Fall Classic meeting since 1981. The Dodgers captured their eighth franchise title in five games, propelled by Freddie Freeman, who was named MVP after hitting home runs in the first four games—including a historic Game 1 walk-off grand slam. The series showcased the World Series debuts of superstars Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, and concluded with a dramatic Game 5 in which the Dodgers overcame a 5-0 deficit, setting a record for the largest comeback in a clinching game. The victory gave the Dodgers a 3-2 edge over the Yankees in World Series matchups since moving to Los Angeles, while the Yankees suffered their 14th World Series loss, tying the all-time record. The Dodgers would go on to repeat as champions the following year, beating the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games to become the first back-to-back winners since the 2000 Yankees.
