Happy World Series, baseball fans! It's going to be a great series between two blue-blood franchises with the New York Yankees taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Now, we hope it doesn't come to this, but sometimes, umpires make mistakes or create controversies over certain calls. And sometimes, those calls alter the direction of the game or series, and if that happens, you'll probably want to know who to be mad at. We've got you covered.

For the 2024 World Series, the nine-person umpire crew includes crew chief Mark Carlson, Doug Eddings, Chad Fairchild, Andy Fletcher, Mark Ripperger, Todd Tichenor and Carlos Torres. Additionally, Cory Blaser and James Hoye are the umpires on replay duty.

As USA TODAY noted, the seven-umpire crew means each game is expected to have a different ump behind home plate.

For Game 1 of the 2024 World Series — set for Friday, October 25 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles — here's where each ump is scheduled to be working.

Home plate: Carlos Torres

First base: Mark Carlson

Second base: Doug Eddings

Third base: Mark Ripperger

Left field: Chad Fairchild

Right field: Todd Tichenor

Reserve: Andy Fletcher
