Vlad Guerrero Jr., he always looks good... That man is motivated. That man, as we saw in the postseason, the entire world got a glimpse of what Toronto fans already knew. He is not just a hitter. He is not just a power hitter... He is an above-average defender at first base, and he is an excellent baserunner, as well.
In just four years, the Dodgers star has won two championships and hit the first and only walk-off grand slam in World Series history. Freeman's Hall of Fame legacy appears destined to be defined by what he has and will accomplish with the Dodgers.
It's a statue that should've been built a long time ago. Carter spent seven of his 16 big league seasons with the Jays, helping the team win the World Series in both 1992 and 1993. With the Blue Jays down 8-6 in the ninth inning of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, Carter stepped up to the plate with two runners on.
Getting to the big leagues just over a year after being drafted doesn't happen very often. It's even rarer for a player to make their MLB debut in September and find their way on to a World Series roster just weeks later. But that's what Trey Yesavage did in 2025 and the story book start to his career came up just inches short of the ultimate dream ending.
the Texans and Cardinals was not particularly well played defensively, nor well pitched; however, it is one of the best WS games I've ever seen. Wow. And that sets up the last waltz tonight for the crown. Remember when pundits were laughing at MLB and Selig because there was no Yankees, Sawx or Phillies in the Series and how it would be TV ratings scum? I do, and it has turned out quite nicely thank you very much. Best Series in a while actually.
Broadcaster Joe Davis was put in a bit of a pickle the last two seasons. The lead broadcaster for FOX, he had the task of calling the last two World Series featuring the team he covers on a daily basis in the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite his young age relative to the profession, Davis is a pro - and is undeniably objective in calling games even when he has immense familiarity/relationships with the Dodgers organization.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays combined to provide an all-time World Series matchup, as evident by viewership records in the United States and Canada. There were 27.3 million viewers who tuned in to watch the winner-take-all Game 7 on Fox, making it the most-watched World Series game since 2017. The Fall Classic and MLB postseason as a whole also had their highest viewership in eight years.
Scherzer admitted to debating retirement while rehabbing his thumb injury earlier in the year, stating that he could barely grip the ball and felt ineffective on the mound for the first time in his life. When he did return, he got lit up and allowed 17 runs in 15 innings in September.
When a team loses Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings there is bound to be some second guessing. In the case of the Toronto Blue Jas 5-4 loss to the LA Dodgers, the failure to score both the insurance runs they needed and the winning runs when the game was on the line, will forever sting in the hearts of the teams' fans.
"The umpires all came up to me, and they were like 'If you didn't get him out of there we were probably going to have to toss him'" Muncy said on Foul Territory. "Because you know how that goes, with the instigation rules. If you're the guy that instigates it, then you're usually the one who gets tossed, even through it's not your fault."
