Two of the most historic sports franchises and cities squared off in the 2018 World Series as the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Boston Red Sox with a championship on the line for the first time since 1916.
It was a hard-fought series, but ultimately, the Red Sox ended up beating the Dodgers in five games. It marked a second consecutive loss in the Fall Classic for the Dodgers, with both years concluding with decisive losses at Dodger Stadium.
The cities of Boston and Los Angeles have been rivals for many years, largely because of the Celtics and Lakers clashing in memorable NBA Finals, but that extended to the baseball diamond this year.
