During the spring training, this is what we said we would do and we did it, says Mookie Betts in Dodgers.
Only Yankees and Dodgers have historically been two of the most successful clubs in American baseball.
Los Angeles has won eight times, last night's final victory was the second in five seasons. New York was chasing its first title since 2009, previously the classic club has won the league 28 times.
The two have also met in several classic finals, first when Dodgers were based in Brooklyn, New York, before moving to Los Angeles in the 50s.
Big match winner in the final series was Freddie Freeman. He set a record by making a home run in the first four final matches and was elected most valuable player in the final series.
I'm glad I managed to top my form at the right time, he says.
Dodgers' superstar Shohei Ohtani, who injured his shoulder in the second final match, celebrated the victory by spraying champagne on his teammates while praising the club.
We managed to get through the regular season thanks to the strength of the team and the entire organization. Our success in the playoffs was based on the same grounds, he said.
The narrow defeat was tough on Yankees.
This is going to sting for the rest of my life. I'm crushed, says Yankees manager Aaron Boone to AP.
