The Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals and Stanley Cup are the biggest sporting events in North America. These games draw in many celebrities from the world of sports and entertainment. The 2024 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees is expected to be no different.
Spread across a maximum of seven games, four games will be played in LA and three in New York. Here are the top five celebrities whom you could find in the stands of Yankee and Dodger Stadium starting this Friday.
Top 5 celebrities who could turn up for Dodgers vs Yankees 2024 World Series
1) Rob Lowe
Hailing from Charlottesville, Virginia, Lowe grew up as a Cincinnati Reds fan before Hollywood became his second home, turning him into a Dodgers fan. Glimpses of the critically acclaimed Captain Owen Strand from "9-1-1: Lone Star" throughout the season at Dodger Stadium are a testament to that.
2) Billy Crystal
The 76-year-old grew up in New York and is naturally a Yankees fan. Even the organization had him once hitting from the lead-off spot (a one-day minor league contract) and had one plate appearance in the Grapefruit League in 2008.
In May this year, he made his presence felt in the booth. The filmmaker is also a part owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are divisional rivals to the Dodgers in the NL West.
3) Magic Johnson
The Lakers legend played his entire career in LA and helped the city win five NBA championships. Post-retirement, he has been both personally and financially invested with the Dodgers, having joined the ownership group in 2012.
4) Jay-Z
One of the best rappers out there, Jay-Z, who grew up in New York, could be in Yankee Stadium when the fever turns hot. The rapper has turned up to his concerts wearing Yankees gear numerous times.
He even joined the victory parade when the Yankees last won the World Series in 2009.
5) Bryan Cranston
Popular through his on-screen name Walter White from the TV series "Breaking Bad," Cranston grew up in California and every now and then has been spotted attending Dodgers games. Earlier this year, at the Dodgers' home opener, he was given the opportunity to name the Dodgers starting lineup.
