Hollywood’s finest came to the biggest show in Tinseltown on Saturday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers took on the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series.
Like Friday’s curtain-raiser, the A-Listers headlined the crowd at Dodger Stadium to watch two titans of the MLB go head-to-head.
New Zealand director Taika Waititi and wife Rita Ora enjoyed a Dodgers date night with actor Jon Hamm and his wife Anna Osceola.
The four couples were captured watching the action from their front row seats and despite their friendly trip to the ballpark, a rivalry seemed to be brewing.
The Jojo Rabbit filmmaker was covered head to toe in Dodgers merchandise, making it clear his loyalty was with the hosts, but Osceola wore a navy blue Yankees cap.

Ora and Hamm did not speak out for either team, with the singer opting for a sporty-chic look in a red sweatshirt and cap, while the Mad Men star kept it subdued in a brown jacket and teal hat.
Hamm was spotted chatting with Jeffrey Katzenberg, the former chairman of Walt Disney Studios, as baseball’s biggest stars got down to business.
Jason Bateman, who also witnessed the Dodgers defeat the Yankees in ten innings in Game 1 on Friday night, returned for more action on Saturday.
Meanwhile, MLB fans were treated to an opening performance from rapper Ice Cube prior to the Game 2 showdown.
The Los Angeles native graced the field at Dodger Stadium prior to Game 2, wearing a Dodgers hat and jacket as he performed his hit “Today Was a Good Day.”
Later he saw Shohei Ohtani and Co. cheering from the stands in the City of Angels.

Their presence continued a string of blockbuster performances from Hollywood stars after a number of high-profile A-Listers showed up for Game 1.
The Yankees and Dodgers kicked off the World Series on Friday night in Los Angeles, and a host of celebrities — including Jimmy Kimmel and John Legend — were on hand to watch Game 1 of the Fall Classic.
Kimmel was seen sitting next to Jim Gentleman and Cleto Escobedo III, and the late-night host smiled from his seat behind the Yankees dugout.
Also nearby were actors Billy Crudup and Jason Bateman, as well as Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. Actor Will Arnett was also in attendance.
Singer John Legend was also seen in the stands with his children, while fellow artist Lil Wayne also took in the game.
In addition, country singer Brad Paisley started the evening by singing the national anthem, while ‘Breaking Bad’ actor Bryan Cranston also addressed the crowd prior to the game.
Game 2 comes after a truly wild Game 1 in which the Dodgers won on a Freddie Freeman walk-off grand slam.
The game went to extra innings and with a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 10th, Yankees manager Aaron Boone turned to Jake Cousins.

However, with the Dodgers having first and second with one out, he brought in Nestor Cortes to face the high-pressure trio of Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freeman.
The Yankees intentionally walked Betts, bringing Freeman to the plate when Cortes gave up the walkoff grand slam.
Boone’s decision to call on Cortes, who had not pitched since September 18, stunned Yankees fans.
The Dodgers, who last won the championship in 2021, will look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead before Games 3, 4 and 5 (if necessary) are played in New York.
