The Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions — again. In a series that will be discussed for generations, the Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays in an 11-inning Game 7 thriller Saturday night at Rogers Centre, becoming the first team since the 1998-2000 Yankees to win consecutive championships. The 5-4 victory capped what might be the greatest World Series ever played — and added to the franchise’s heritage among baseball’s all-time dynasties.
An Instant Classic for the Ages
Every single game delivered drama. The 18-inning marathon in Game 3 that ended with Freddie Freeman‘s walk-off homer matched the longest game in World Series history.
