The 2024 World Series is set, and the first game will begin on Friday at Dodger Stadium between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This World Series looks to be a special one, as both presumptive MVP winners will face off.
Aaron Judge of the Yankees will face Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers in what should be an offensive matchup.
The argument for Major League Baseball’s best player could be unraveling as Judge made a powerful statement about his teammate, Ohtani.
“He is an impressive athlete. The best player in the game,” Judge said.

Judge led all of baseball in home runs and in the 2024 regular season he hit .322 with 58 home runs, 144 runs batted in and had a 1.159 on-base plus slugging percentage.
Ohtani was right behind with 54 home runs, and on the season he hit .310 with 54 home runs, 130 runs scored and a 1.036 on-base plus slugging percentage.
The best player in baseball’s argument appears to have been Judge’s or Ohtani’s.
The judge probably settled this debate himself with this statement and it shows how humble the judge is as a person.
Both of these players will look to make an impact during the World Series in an attempt to help each of their teams win a title.
The Dodgers advanced to the National League Championship by defeating the New York Mets.
The Yankees advanced to the American League Championship Series with a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
