The Dodgers' rivalry with the New York Yankees is one of the most well-known rivalries in Major League Baseball. The two teams have met twelve times in the World Series, more times than any other two teams from the American and National Leagues. The initial significance was embodied in the two teams' proximity in New York City when the Dodgers initially played in Brooklyn. After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, the rivalry retained its significance as the two teams represented the two largest cities on opposite sides of the United States since the 1980s.
