It’s hard to envision a more star-studded and magnetic World Series matchup than this one — both a throwback to when baseball reigned supreme in the U.S. while also showcasing the greatest talents in the game today.

For the 12th time in baseball history, the Dodgers and Yankees will face off in the Fall Classic and add to the already storied history between the two franchises.

The Dodgers defeated the Mets 10-5 in NLCS Game 6 to win the pennant. They now head to the World Series to face the New York Yankees. Los Angeles Times beat writer Jack Harris with columnists Bill Plaschke talk about the huge win and what the Dodgers have ahead of them.

The Los Angeles Dodgers celebrate after securing a series win over the New York Mets to make it to the World Series.

The Mets clubhouse was full of emotion after their Game 6 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday night, in large part because the team has about a dozen pending free agents, making it almost a certainty the club won't return the same roster next season.
