The Dodgers have won the 2024 World Series!
Today was the 5th game of the series. The 5-run deficit that the Dodgers overcame is the largest comeback to win a clinching game in World Series history. Walker Buehler came into the 9th inning to get the save two innings after he started game 3. (Gerrit Cole of the Yankees threw more than 100 pitches today. He's the first pitcher to do that in the World Series in either 21 or 27 World Series games. The broadcasters indicated the number in the 6th inning, but I forgot which one it is.) Here is the game's box score.
Obviously, Freddie Freeman was named the series MVP.
Mookie Betts is now the only active player with 3 World Series rings.
I was very happy when the Dodgers won in 2020, but that season has a giant asterisk, and I have been able to enjoy things much more with this year's World Series championship in a proper season.
Thankfully, now that the World Series is over, I won't have to see any more of these damn political commercials anymore this year. Sweet relief.
