I loved seeing these two teams playing for it all.
Campy is smiling like it’s 1955!

+1

I also enjoyed seeing the Dodgers win the World Series and put that 2020 talk to sleep.

What happened to the Yankees ? 3 errors, pitcher doesn't cover first and catcher's interference. Dodgers are the World Champions !!!

Sorry. F the Dodgers.

I don't like the Dodgers, I liked the historical match up and wished it would go 7 games of exciting baseball.

Props to Dave Roberts for a well managed series.

Especially impressive given all the injuries to the pitching staff.

Good games. I am not somebody who follows modern sports, so I'm really a fan of every team. Just like to watch fun games. The series was good.

5 unearned runs in an elimination World Series game? This game was fixed.

WOOHOO!!!! DODGERS WIN!!!!!!!!

And how about that performance by Freddie Freeman?! One of the greatest WS MVP performances of all time. Well deserved.

Did anyone notice?

Near the end of game 3, Alex Verdugo hit a home run. He made contact and watched the ball as it flew back, back, back. He's lucky it cleared the wall. From the video I saw, it didn't clear it by much. Had that ball stayed in play, he would have looked quite foolish.

While arguably not as bad as Cole's lazy fielding, it seems indicative of a larger problem with the Yankees. They didn't seem like a team that plays hard and focuses on fundamentals.

Now, maybe Verdugo crushed that pitch and it was a no-doubter. Either way, bust it down the line. Good things tend to happen when teams that play like that.

Yankees had the secret weapon to stop Freddie Freeman but didn't use it/him...

Indeed! Just ask Ty Cobb or Pete Rose.

I basically said the same thing in another thread about Gleyber Torres game 4 homer. Barely cleared the right field wall and he’s hardly out of the box when it lands 1 row in.

The best thing that the Dodgers ever did though was move from Brooklyn to Los Angeles after the 1957 season. Consider these World Series records:

Brooklyn Dodgers: 1-8
Los Angeles Dodgers: 7-6

And against their decades old rivals the New York Yankees:

Brooklyn: 1-6 (17-27 by games)
Los Angeles: 3-2 (16-11 by games)

While in Brooklyn the Dodgers just couldn't get it done and close the deal at year-end. Since their relocation to Los Angeles, it's been a different story.

As a lifelong Detroit Tigers fan ( Yeah I know ) ABTY: Anybody But the Yankees!

I pulled this from a pack in 2011...glad I held on to it.

I'm certainly not going to say anything in defense of, or sympathetic to, the Yankees.

But I can't help but think George Steinbrenner must be turning in his grave at this scene: the Yankee Stadium scoreboard proclaiming the Los Angeles Dodgers World Champions as they celebrate on his field.

It doesn't make the Dodgers' defeating the Mets in the NLCS any better, but it's a nice consolation prize.
