The 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees is a heavyweight fight. The Fall Classic pits the teams with the best and third-best records, respectively, in the sport against each other. It's a battle between the teams with the third-highest and second-highest payrolls in MLB. Oh, and it's also a clash between arguably the two best baseball players on the planet, Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani and Yankees slugger Aaron Judge.
Judge, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, was quick to cede the title of game's best player to Ohtani when asked about what he admires about his Dodgers counterpart.
