Mark Carlson to Lead Umpire Crew in Dodgers-Yankees World Series

Veteran umpire Mark Carlson will serve as crew chief for the first time in a historic World Series matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees.

Carlos Torres will make history as the first Venezuelan umpire to officiate in a World Series game, calling balls and strikes for Game 1.
The umpire crew for the series includes three first-timers: Andy Fletcher, Mark Ripperger, and Carlos Torres.
The Dodgers and Yankees face off in their 12th World Series matchup, the first since 1981.
Games 1 and 2 will be hosted at Dodger Stadium, with the Yankees hosting Games 3, 4, and 5 in New York.
This series features a rare convergence of top MLB talent, including Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, both leading their leagues in home runs.
