The Los Angeles Dodgers have done it again! In a heart-stopping Game 7, they emerged victorious over the Toronto Blue Jays, claiming back-to-back World Series titles.
It was a true test of resilience and determination. Down 3-0 and 4-2, the Dodgers fought back fiercely in the Blue Jays' own stadium. Will Smith's 11th-inning home run changed the game's trajectory, putting Los Angeles ahead for the first time and ultimately securing their 5-4 win. This comeback story adds another chapter to their legacy.
But here's where it gets controversial... Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the pitching hero of Game 6, delivered another stellar performance. With 96 pitches in the bag from Friday's win, he pitched 2.2 scoreless innings, including a crucial escape in the ninth when the Blue Jays loaded the bases. Smith praised Yamamoto as the MVP of the series, a sentiment many fans will agree with.
And this is the part most people miss... the Blue Jays were inches away from their first World Series title in over three decades. Leading 4-3 in the ninth, Miguel Rojas, at 36 years old, hit a game-tying home run, keeping the Dodgers alive and sending the game into extra innings.
By retaining the title, the Dodgers solidify their position as baseball's current powerhouse. With three championships since 2020, they are the first team to achieve this feat since the New York Yankees in 2000.
So, what do you think? Is the Dodgers' dominance a sign of their exceptional talent, or is there something else at play? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
