The Yankees and Dodgers, two of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises, will begin an interleague series on Wednesday afternoon. The two teams have some history, they’ve met 11 times in the World Series, with the last one taking place in 1981.
The official Twitter accounts for both teams decided to engage in some trash talking before the series and each side landed a few jabs on their opponent. Was this planned to hype up the series? Probably, but it’s still pretty funny nonetheless.

@Dodgers Oh yeah, 1981. We’ve only won 5 championships since.

@Yankees *slow clap*. Shiny objects are nice, but the best thing to ever come out of The Bronx is a Dodger: pic.twitter.com/COAvKgBNZ6
