It's nearly impossible to predict the outcome of the World Series at the beginning of the season, let alone years in advance. However, one baseball fan had no trouble predicting how the 2024 World Series would go in 2016. After the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the Fall Classic on Tuesday, a 2016 post resurfaced in which a fan correctly predicted the result.
"2024 World Series. Yankees v Dodgers," the fan posted on X. "Game 4 Yankees with a blow out.
" The Dodgers took a 3-0 lead in the series, but in Game 4—as the fan predicted—the Yankees won 11-4 in dominant fashion. There's no telling how the fan knew what would happen—it was probably a lucky guess—but fans were blown away by the wildly accurate prediction. Some fans replied asking if their respective teams were due for a World Series in 2025, while Yankees fans were more concerned with whether a comeback was in the cards for them this year.
The fan hasn't provided any updates since the post went viral, so it seems New York fans will have to wait to find out their fate. The Yankees will need a historic comeback to erase the 3-0 deficit against the Dodgers, but a big win in Game 4 has the momentum shifting toward them. After sluggish offensive performances in the first three games of the series, New York's bats woke up on Tuesday and scored 11 runs, the most so far in the postseason for the Yankees.
New York will look to keep that magic going on Wednesday as the series stays in the Bronx.
