Major League Baseball
Happy Halloween, everyone! Last night, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees, 7-6, in Game 5 of the World Series...winning their second championship in five years!
The latest Major League Baseball title is the 8th in Dodgers franchise history, and comes after Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Walker Buehler, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and company emerged victorious from a series that was the 12th matchup with the Yankees since 1941. Before this year's Fall Classic, Los Angeles and New York last clashed in 1981—with the late and great Fernando Valenzuela helping the Dodgers to win the championship that October.
As for the World Series' Most Valuable Player trophy, Freddie Freeman won the award...after he immediately became a legend hitting that walk-off grand slam to seal a Game 1 victory against the Yanks on October 25th.
It's so awesome for the City of Angels to become the City of Champions once more! Hopefully, Shohei will come close to winning the additional nine titles that he wanted after clinching his first with the Dodgers last night; Mookie Betts will tie Yankees legend Derek Jeter with two more World Series rings (Betts now has three—two with the Dodgers and one with the Boston Red Sox), and Yankees left fielder and power hitter Juan Soto (who's now a free agent) will sign with Los Angeles in the offseason.
Okay, I'm not holding my breath on that last one with Soto. Go Dodger Blue!
