Yankees and Dodgers history in World Series

This will be the twelfth time the Yankees and Dodgers face each other in a World Series.

That victory marked their first World Series title since 1965 and the third time they had defeated the Yankees in the Fall Classic. The Yankees are the winningest team in the history of the World Series with 27 victories. The Dodgers are looking to win their eight World Series trophy.
