The Philadelphia Phillies weren't competing in the World Series, but they did have some lingering connections that left some harsh feelings by the time the last pitch was thrown in Game 7 on Saturday night.
It was the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers that battled for World Series glory in 2025. The Dodgers were looking to be MLB's first repeat champions since 2000, while the Blue Jays were looking to clinch their first title in 32 years.
Former Phillies reliever Jeff Hoffman was the man on the mound looking to close things out, but ultimately fell victim to a gut-wrenching performance that cost a ring for the city of Toronto.
