The '''Dodgers–Yankees rivalry''' is one of the biggest [[Major League Baseball rivalries|rivalries]] in [[Major League Baseball]].<ref name=Rivalry>{{cite news|title=Oscars of interleague: Stars coming out for Yankees-Dodgers|date=June 25, 2010|first=Bob|last=Nightengale|newspaper=USA Today|page=4C|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2010-06-24-yankees-dodgers-preview_N.htm}}</ref> The [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] are a member club of the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) [[National League West|West]] division, and the [[New York Yankees]] are a member club of the [[American League]] (AL) [[American League East|East]] division. The teams have met 12 times in the [[World Series]], more than any other two teams, with the Yankees winning eight times.<ref name=Rivalry/> The rivalry began in New York City, when the Dodgers played in [[Brooklyn]] and the Yankees in the [[Bronx]]. After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in {{baseball year|1958}}, the rivalry continued as the teams represented two of the largest cities on each coast of the United States. Fan support has added to the notoriety of the series as both teams are supported by two of the largest fanbases in North America.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-06-08 |title=Top 25 MLB franchises with most fans: The most popular baseball teams |url=https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/Top-25-MLB-teams-with-most-fans-20200528-0001.html |access-date=2024-11-14 |website=Bolavip US |language=en-US}}</ref>

Although the rivalry's significance arose from the two teams' numerous World Series meetings,<ref name=Rivalry/> the Yankees and Dodgers did not meet in the World Series between {{wsy|1981}}<ref name=Rivalry/> and {{wsy|2024}}.

The two teams met in the [[2024 World Series]] for the first time in 43 years, with the Dodgers winning the series in 5 games.

==World Series matchups==
===A new team in town, new stadiums built, Subway Series established===
{{main|Subway Series|Giants–Yankees rivalry}}

At the dawn of the 20th century, the [[American League]] was in its infancy, and one of its charter franchises (which would eventually become the Yankees) was the original Baltimore Orioles. The league, however, recognized that it required a presence in New York City, the country's largest market, in order to survive. Hence, it moved the Orioles to New York, which was already the home of two [[National League (baseball)|National League]] franchises, the [[Brooklyn Dodgers]] and [[New York Giants (NL)|New York Giants]]. The new team was eventually called the '''New York Highlanders''' due to their home field being [[Hilltop Park]] from 1903 to 1912.

After the Highlanders allowed the Giants to play at Hilltop Park when the latter's home stadium, the [[Polo Grounds]], was undergoing reconstruction from a fire, the Giants invited the Highlanders to share the Polo Grounds with them. Since the Highlanders were no longer playing at higher elevations, they changed their name to the '''New York Yankees'''. The Dodgers also opened up their new field, [[Ebbets Field]], in Brooklyn. Their opening game at the stadium was an exhibition game against the Highlanders on April 5, {{mlby|1913}} where future Yankee manager [[Casey Stengel]] had the game-winning hit for the Dodgers. The Highlanders would officially be called the Yankees later that year.

In 1920, the Giants notified the Yankees that they would have to find a new stadium of their own for the 1921 season.<ref name=pologrounds>{{Cite web|url=http://sabr.org/bioproj/park/58d80eca|title = Polo Grounds (New York) – Society for American Baseball Research}}</ref> The Giants rescinded that eviction notice and allowed the Yankees to stay until the end of the 1922 season, when the Giants renovated the Polo Grounds and increased seating capacity from 38,000 to 50,000.<ref name=pologrounds/> Before that however, the [[1921 World Series]] between the Giants and Yankees became the first [[Subway Series]], as match-ups between the Dodgers and the Giants were not referred to as Subway Series. After losing to the Giants in that World Series and again [[1922 World Series|the following year]], the Yankees moved across the [[Harlem River]] to [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|the original Yankee Stadium]] in the [[Bronx]], where they captured their first World Series from the Giants in [[1923 World Series|1923]].

===1941: First meeting between the Bronx Bombers and "Dem Bums"===
{{main|1941 World Series}}
The Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers first met in the [[1941 World Series]]. In Game 4, with the Yankees leading the series two games to one, the Dodgers led by one going to the top of the ninth inning and, with two outs, just barely missed getting the third out and wound up losing the game. With two outs, the Yankees' [[Tommy Henrich]] swung and missed with two strikes, but reached on a passed ball, as Dodger catcher [[Mickey Owen]] failed to hold on to the pitch. Henrich reached first base on the play. Owen recalled the incident:

{{blockquote|It was a great breaking curve that I should have had, but I guess the ball hit the side of my glove. It got away from me, and by the time I got hold of it, near the corner of the Brooklyn dugout, I couldn't have thrown anybody out at first.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/classic/s/series_subway_moments.html|title=Great Subway Series moments|date=November 19, 2003|first=Larry|last=Schwartz|work=ESPN Classic|publisher=ESPN Internet Ventures}}</ref>}}

[[Joe DiMaggio]] followed Henrich's at bat with a single before [[Charlie Keller]] hit a double to drive in both Henrich and DiMaggio and give the Yankees a 5–4 lead. After [[Bill Dickey]] walked, he and Keller scored on a [[Joe Gordon]] double to make the final score 7–4. The next day, the Yankees clinched the first series match-up between the two teams in the start of what would become a long-lasting rivalry.

===1947–53: "Wait 'til ''next'' year!"===
{{main|1947 World Series|1949 World Series|1952 World Series|1953 World Series}}
Six years later, the [[1947 World Series]] had a dramatic moment in Game 6. The Dodgers' [[Al Gionfriddo]] was placed in left field for defensive purposes and robbed Joe DiMaggio of a game-tying three-run home run. DiMaggio was visibly disgusted by the outcome of the play when rounding the bases in one of the few emotional displays of his career. The Dodgers won the game and forced a do-or-die Game 7, only to fall.

Dramatic defensive plays would be seen again, this time by the Yankees in the [[1952 World Series|1952 contest]], as [[Billy Martin]] came outside the camera coverage area to catch a pop-fly after Brooklyn had threatened to take the lead in Game 7. Martin would go on to be the hero once more in the [[1953 World Series|1953 series]] with a series record 12 hits, including the winning hit of the series-clinching game off of [[Clem Labine]].

Brooklyn signed [[Jackie Robinson]] to not only break the [[baseball color line|color line]], but to bolster the lineup. Robinson, along with outfielder [[Duke Snider]] and pitcher [[Don Newcombe]], sparked Brooklyn to four National League pennants between [[1947 Brooklyn Dodgers season|1947]] and [[1953 Brooklyn Dodgers season|1953]]. Every time during this period, however, the World Series ended poorly for the Dodgers and gave the Dodger fans their rallying cry: "Wait 'til ''next'' year!"<ref name="NYDailyNews">{{cite news |last=Swan |first=Lisa |title=Who's a Bum?

During the [[1953 World Series]], long time Dodgers announcer [[Red Barber]] refused to man the broadcast booth due to a compensation dispute with [[Gillette (brand)|Gillette]]. Barber jumped ship to the Yankees and joined [[Mel Allen]] to call the games for the Yankees. Struggling to find a replacement, the Dodgers gave the call to a 25-year-old named [[Vin Scully]], the youngest man to ever call a World Series game for a major network. Scully would continue as a Dodgers broadcaster for another six decades.

===1955: "This ''IS'' next year!"===
{{main|1955 World Series}}
Finally, in {{wsy|1955}} the Dodgers reversed matters, prevailing over the Yankees in seven games to win their only World Series in Brooklyn.<ref name="YanksEliminatedAtHome"/> Thus came the slogan, ''This IS next year''.

===1956: Don Larsen's perfect game===
{{main|1956 World Series|Don Larsen's perfect game}}
Brooklyn fell short of repeating [[1956 World Series|the next season]], falling in seven games to the Yankees. That year's team suffered some ignominy in being on the losing end of [[Don Larsen]]'s [[Perfect game (baseball)|perfect game]] in Game 5, which was the first of only three [[no-hitter]]s ever pitched in postseason play.

In both the 1955 and 1956 World Series, the home team won the first six games of the World Series, but lost Game 7. It would not be until {{wsy|1987}} when the home team won all seven games of a World Series.<ref name="HomeTeam"/> However, the Yankees became the first American League team to lose a World Series in which the home team won all seven games, in {{wsy|2001}}.<ref name="HomeTeam">{{cite news |title=Diamondbacks 3, Yankees 2 |date=November 5, 2001 |first=Ben |last=Walker |agency=Associated Press |quote=The other two all-home victory Series were both won by Minnesota, 1987 and {{wsy|1991}}.}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Olney |first=Buster |author-link=Buster Olney |date=November 5, 2001 |title=In Final Twist, New York Falls in Ninth |page=A1 |newspaper=[[New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/05/sports/world-series-in-final-twist-new-york-falls-in-ninth.html |access-date=November 26, 2023}}</ref>

The 1956 World Series would be the last Subway Series of the 1900s and the last to include one of the National League's charter franchises.

===1963: Los Angeles Dodgers win===

{{main|1963 World Series}}

After the Dodgers' move to Los Angeles for the 1958 season, it would take them two dominating pitchers ([[Sandy Koufax]] and [[Don Drysdale]]), a speedy shortstop ([[Maury Wills]]) and a proficient outfielder ([[Tommy Davis (outfielder)|Tommy Davis]]) to spark them to a pennant in [[1963 Los Angeles Dodgers season|1963]]. They swept the Yankees (consisting of [[Mickey Mantle]], [[Roger Maris]], and [[Whitey Ford]]) in four straight games to win their second World Series since moving to Los Angeles, having won in {{wsy|1959}}, with the Bronx Bombers not taking a single lead against the powerful Los Angeles pitching staff and being limited to just four runs in the entire series,<ref name="NewYorkAndLA"/> the first meeting between teams from [[Sports in New York City|New York City]] and [[Sports in Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] for a [[Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada|major professional sports]] championship.<ref name="NewYorkAndLA">{{cite journal|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/print/708558|date=June 1, 2014|access-date=May 15, 2015|first=Mike|last=Barnes|journal=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|title=Stanley Cup Final: Kings vs. Rangers in L.A.-New York Championship Duel}}</ref><ref name="1981WS">{{Cite news |last=Branch |first=John |date=June 4, 2014 |title=New York vs. Los Angeles: Rivalry Revived |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/05/sports/hockey/new-york-and-la-together-again-in-a-sports-final.html |access-date=September 20, 2022 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Dodgers broadcaster [[Vin Scully]] said that although the Dodgers won four World Series titles in 10 years, he said that this championship was the biggest of those four because "the ultimate was not only beating the Yankees but sweeping them in four", but said that "to New York fans it was still the old Brooklyn Dodgers and there was a lot of bitterness toward them."<ref name="StanleyCup"/>

===1977: The Bronx Is Burning===
[[File:Reggie Jackson at Dodger Stadium 2010.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Mr. October: Reggie Jackson hit three home runs in Game 6 of the 1977 World Series against the Dodgers to win the series for the Yankees.]]
After 14 years, sophomore manager [[Tommy Lasorda]] led a young Dodgers team to the [[1977 World Series]] where they faced [[Billy Martin]] and the Yankees. The two managers were involved in a fist fight during the 1956 season while playing for the two teams they were now managing.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1119946/index.htm | work=CNN | title=Video | date=September 30, 1985 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080925190950/http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1119946/index.htm | archive-date=September 25, 2008 }}</ref> The Yankees were coming off a controversy ridden season. Furious at their loss to [[The Big Red Machine]] in the [[1976 World Series]], owner [[George Steinbrenner]] had signed slugger [[Reggie Jackson]] to the team. Jackson immediately created friction in the clubhouse between himself and Billy Martin as well as captain [[Thurman Munson]], the defending AL MVP. New York City itself was going through a financial crisis under [[Mayor of New York City|Mayor]] [[Abraham Beame]] and experienced the [[Son of Sam]] and a [[New York City blackout of 1977|major blackout]], all chronicled in ''[[The Bronx Is Burning]]''. Despite the controversy, the Yankees managed to play together and win the pennant to face the Dodgers in the World Series.

The Dodgers featured an infield of [[Steve Garvey]] at first, [[Davey Lopes]] at second, [[Ron Cey]] at third, and [[Bill Russell (shortstop)|Bill Russell]] at shortstop, in addition to slugger [[Reggie Smith]], and pitching duo ([[Don Sutton]] and [[Tommy John]]). In addition to Jackson and Munson, the Yankees had [[Bucky Dent]] and [[Graig Nettles]], Cy Young Award-winning closer [[Sparky Lyle]], young pitcher [[Ron Guidry]], and speedsters [[Willie Randolph]] and [[Mickey Rivers]]. The Dodgers appeared primed to win the Series, but Reggie Jackson put on his "Mr. October" show as he hit three home runs in Game 6 off three pitches to lead the Yanks to their first World Series championship since {{wsy|1962}}.

===1978: Bucky Dent's Playoffs===
[[1978 in baseball|The next season]], the Yankees won their division, thanks in large part to a timely home run from Bucky Dent in a one-game playoff against the [[Boston Red Sox]]. They went to the World Series for the third straight year where they faced the Dodgers for the second straight year. The Dodgers won the first two games of the Series thanks to rookie pitcher [[Bob Welch (baseball)|Bob Welch]], but New York won the next four to take the 75th Fall Classic.

===1981: Changing of the Guard===
In {{wsy|1981}}, the fortunes turned in LA's favor, as rookie pitcher [[Fernando Valenzuela]] won National League Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Award honors. But the Yankees had American League Rookie of the Year [[Dave Righetti]] (who was traded from the Rangers in exchange for Lyle) and the 1–2 relief punch of set-up man [[Ron Davis (pitcher)|Ron Davis]] and closer [[Goose Gossage|Rich Gossage]].

==Rivalry in the 21st century==
===Interleague matchups===
The introduction of [[interleague play]] in 1997 allowed the Yankees and Dodgers to play each other in the regular season. For the first several decades of interleague play, however, the Dodgers and Yankees had different regular interleague partners: the Dodgers typically played the [[Los Angeles Angels|Angels]], and the Yankees typically played the [[New York Mets|Mets]]. Before the adoption of universal interleague play in 2023, the Dodgers and Yankees played only five interleague series. In addition, the Dodgers never played a regular season series at the [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|original Yankee Stadium]].

Dodgers-Yankees matchups have tended to be popular with fans, and frequently result in sell-out crowds. The first time the Dodgers visited the Bronx since interleague play was introduced, in June 2013, their doubleheader sold out the new [[Yankee Stadium]].<ref name="Sellouts" />[[Image:Don Mattingly (2011).jpg|Yankees great Don Mattingly, then manager of the Dodgers.|thumb|right|upright]]Yankee greats Joe Torre and Don Mattingly managed the Dodgers from 2008 to 2010 and 2011 to 2015, respectively,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100917&content_id=14759390&vkey=news_la&c_id=la|title=Mattingly to replace Torre as Dodgers' skipper|date=September 17, 2010|first=Ken|last=Gurnick|work=MLB.com|publisher=dodgers.com|access-date=September 17, 2010|archive-date=June 15, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110615120144/http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100917&content_id=14759390&vkey=news_la&c_id=la|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Hernandez |first=Dylan |date=September 17, 2010 |title=Don Mattingly to replace Joe Torre as Dodgers manager |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2010-sep-17-la-spw-dodgers-torre-mattingly18-story.html |access-date=November 26, 2023 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]] |page=C1 |language=en-US}}</ref> adding more flavor to the Dodgers-Yankees series in 2010 and 2013.

Starting in 2023, the Dodgers and Yankees will play each other every year in the regular season, as MLB has mandated that every team play every other team at least once a year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/more-interleague-games-on-balanced-schedule|title=Balanced schedule to bring more Interleague games|website=MLB.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-vs-dodgers-rivalry-renewed-in-2023|title=Thanks to new schedule, Yanks, Dodgers renew iconic rivalry|website=MLB.com}}</ref>

=== 2024 World Series ===
In [[2024 Major League Baseball season|2024]], the Dodgers and Yankees finished with the best records in the National and American Leagues, and met in the [[2024 World Series|World Series]] for the first time in 43 years. The Dodgers won the first three games and took the title in five games.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/10/25/yankees-dodgers-rivalry-latest-world-series-aaron-judge-shohei-ohtani/|title=Yankees, Dodgers resume historic rivalry with 12th World Series meeting – starring Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani|date=October 25, 2024}}</ref> However, aside from Game 4 (which Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was said to have punted due to a lack of healthy starting pitchers<ref>{{Cite web |last=Plaschke |first=Bill |date=2024-10-30 |title=Plaschke: No big deal.
