The Los Angeles Dodgers became the first back-to-back champions of the baseball world in 25 years on Saturday night, and did so in an unforgettable, 11-inning Game 7.
From Miguel Rojas smashing a solo home run to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning, to Andy Pages’ catch to send the game to extras, to Will Smith’s clutch home run to eventually win the game with two outs in the 11th, to Mookie Betts converting a series-winning double play with a runner in scoring position, the Dodgers delivered an epic championship to Los Angeles.
Perhaps one of the most heroic aspects of a game that had no shortage of valiant moments was the ace, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
