Dodgers Repeat as 2025 World Series Champions, Defeating Blue Jays in Game 7 Thriller

Anthony Castrovince, MLB:

The Dodgers are MLB’s first repeat champs since the 1998–2000 Yankees, and the four-hour, seven-minute, extra-innings affair it took to decide that was a fitting end to a true Fall Classic in which these two clubs exhausted each other – not just in the 18-inning epic at Dodger Stadium in Game 3 but throughout a Series in which they both had to empty the tank.

This might be the best World Series—and Game 7—in recent memory, arguably ever. It may also be the most heartbreaking loss in World Series history: the Blue Jays had several chances to win it—including a bottom-of-the-ninth play at the plate and a game-saving outfield catch for the ages, both of which were an inch or two from giving the Jays their first franchise championship title.

Congratulations to both teams for an amazing Series—but damn, Dodgers fans are going to be even more insufferable than usual.
