There haven't been this many Dodgers fans in New York since the team moved from Brooklyn in 1957.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the Bronx this weekend for a highly anticipated series against the New York Yankees. It is one of the oldest rivalries in the game.
When the Dodgers were in Brooklyn, they faced the Yankees eight times in the World Series.
They have met three times in the Fall Classic since moving, and their 11 meetings are the most between any two teams despite not meeting there since 1981.

There was a playoff atmosphere on Friday night with the Dodgers' 2-1 victory in 11 innings, and Dodger fans were scattered throughout Yankee Stadium.
But on Saturday there was an invasion.
A photo of numerous Dodger fans lined up outside Billy's Sports Bar appeared just before 2 pm on Saturday, about six hours before first pitch.

The group then received a police escort on the way to the stadium gates.

It turns out the invasion comes from the Dodgers fan group, Pantone 294, named after the shade of blue that is the Dodgers' primary color. The group also traveled to the Bronx in 2016.
The FOX broadcast said 5,000 members of the group were part of the Bronx takeover.
