For the one hundred and twenty first time, dating back to 1903, the championship of Major League Baseball will begin today with the World Series. Tonight, with a 5:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM EDT) first pitch the New York Yankees will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Chavez Ravine. This matchup is one of the most storied in all of baseball dating back to 1941 when the Yankees defeated the (then) Brooklyn Dodgers four games to one. Since then, the teams have faced off eleven more times with the Yankees dominating the series with eight victories.
