What kinda kills me is how it becomes an intense Hall of Stats discussion instead of Hall of Fame.

I know the urge is to look forward, leap straight into the offseason business of declined mutual options and such. But there's plenty of time for that. So for one more day, here's a reflection on the best game in the best World Series in recent memory.

www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

There were no great teams, but there was a lot of great baseball. Everyone loves to worship a god, and this World Series had them on both sides of the aisle, men who took over games and took on an aura of invincibility, right up until the alarm went off the next morning. They also love it when guys come out of nowhere to make humongous plays, and they love redemption stories. This series had room for all of them. It had room for everything, except two winners.

flip side: if the ball doesn’t A) take a live hop and force rojas to lean back, and 2) rojas isn’t fighting rib pain, IKF is out by several feet.

EXCUSE

www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

On Friday night, the revival of that lineup for Game 7 was in question. The Dodgers went to bed believing Rojas would not be available and that they might need to replace him on the roster with outfielder Michael Conforto. Rojas woke up Saturday morning still in pain. He went to the stadium at 1:30 p.m., received "a lot of meds and injections," he said, and tested out the rib in the batting cage. The pain was dulled enough that Rojas told Roberts he wanted to play. Roberts acceded. Rojas took another round of painkillers before first pitch and found himself at the plate in the ninth inning, with the Dodgers trailing, 4-3, and one out.

as a Dodgers fan, it‘s admittedly crazy that they won this series. so many unlikely twists.

Better team? I’m not so sure.
Played better for the majority of these 7 games? Clearly they did.

While the Dodgers were the last team standing in 2025, Will Smith was the longest man crouching in World Series history.

I understand your business points, but in competition Toronto had deeper talent for seven games, the fifth highest payroll in the sport, and it got them within a whisker of a title. Deserving of respect and a model of how a franchise doesn’t have to doom itself to firesale mode every season.

The Dodgers are proof that billionaires who want their team to win baseball games can a) spend tons of money every year and b) let people who know what they're doing make decisions, leading to c) winning lots of games, even championships. Every owner could try this model if they stopped crying poor!

If your first inclination after that postseason is to argue about a salary cap or the Dodgers being bad for the sport, we just do not share anything in common about baseball

Imagine telling a Red Sox fan in 2019 that 6 years later Mookie Betts would turn an unassisted DP as the shortstop for the Dodgers to win back-to-back World Series.
