The International 2-way prospect of the Boston Red Sox makes his debut in the World Series, as the team faces their Postseason rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox is still relatively new, coming off their clash in the 2018 World Series. The two powerhouse teams both have very rich histories, that have rarely crossed paths throughout the years. The first ever Los Angeles Dodgers vs Boston Red Sox game occurred in 1916 when the Dodgers were known as the Brooklyn Robins. The two faced off in the World Series that year, with Boston bringing home the title in just five games. From 1916 to 2002 the teams would not play each other, due to interleague play not being a thing until the 1997 season. Since 2002 the teams have played each other a handful of times, never really cementing in place a deeply rooted rivalry. The two even played in a preseason exhibition game in 2008 that ended up breaking the world record of the largest crowd at a baseball game. The game marked the 50th anniversary for the Dodgers moving to Los Angeles. The Dodgers and Red Sox repeated history in 2018 when the two faced off with each other in the 2018 World Series. Just like in 1916 the Red Sox won the title in five games, sending the Dodgers packing once again.

This will be the 3rd encounter in the World Series, writing the next chapter of East Meets West.
