NEW YORK -- The 2024 World Series is over: Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers are champions in five games, the first title for him and, for the team, the eighth in franchise history.

There were heroes and goats, as there are in every Fall Classic, but no storybook showdown of Shohei Ohtani versus Aaron Judge.

The New York Yankees' title drought reached 15 years, and their captain, Aaron Judge, faced struggles that sometimes reached nightmarish levels.
