Because the leagues alternated World Series sites at that time. The year before, in the seven-game 1987 World Series, the first two games and the last two games were played in Minnesota. In 1989, the year after the Dodgers' championship title, the Series opened in Oakland.

The leagues continued to alternate sites until 2003, when the lords of Baseball agreed to award home field advantage to the league that wins the All-Star Game. Because the National League won the 2010 All-Star Game, the World Series opened in San Francisco.
