Overtime, or “OT,” is an opinion column series where the Collegian takes national sports headlines or polarizing topics and gives them a Butler-centric angle.

The 2025 MLB season ended with the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series in a hard-fought seven-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

This series did not merely highlight which team was the best in baseball, but also showed that baseball has a major spending problem.
