Yankees vs. Dodgers is a World Series matchup for the ages. Ron Howard, the long-time actor, producer and director, sets up the star-studded showdown.
'Like every great story, it all starts with a thrilling first act.' That's how Ron Howard helped set up Game 1 of the World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers in a special video that aired on FOX on Friday night.
Howard interrupts, calling 'cut' and declaring that the hype video 'isn't working.' The director then explains what makes this series so great, starting with 'larger-than-life heroes,' as exciting clips play of Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge in action. He then talks about the history behind two of MLB's most-storied franchises, before moving on. 'But what really keeps you hooked, is the drama,' Howard says.
