13 moments that defined Dodgers’ 2025 World Series championship run
They were going to win. They were going to lose. All at once, all in one month.
Earn. Lose. Earn. Lose. Earn. Lose.
Earn!!!
Weeks later, the chest is still pounding, the throat is still thickening, the mind still hasn’t completely grasped it.
The Dodgers won their second consecutive World Series championship this fall in pure drama.
A catch worthy of a statue. A strikeout at home plate by historic inches. A cheating outfielder steals a victory. A struggling first baseman steals a marathon. A catcher with sore hands steals a title.
The greatest playoff game by a player in baseball history. Greatest World Series by a pitcher in baseball history. The greatest moment by a Dodgers player in baseball history, a guy so ingrained in the Los Angeles sports landscape that he will forever be known simply by two abbreviated versions of his name…
Miggy Ro.
Enough said.
Perhaps it is appropriate today to give thanks for the drama, thanks for the art, thanks for the mind-blowing uncertainty of October’s diamonds.
Thanks, baseball, for creating the chart of the Dodgers’ 13 most memorable postseason moments, one for every win, one for every scream, one for every occasion when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier.
And then it happened.
