The Los Angeles Dodgers no longer need to hear about 1988 as they are World Series champions after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6. Corey Seager was named World Series MVP, adding it to same honor he received after a historic National League Championship Series.
Getting to the mountaintop was both a marathon and sprint for the Dodgers. They were in the World Series a third time in the past four years and have won the NL West eight consecutive seasons.
For all their divisional and postseason success, a championship continued to elude the Dodgers.
