Shout it as deep as a Miguel Rojas<\/a> home run, impossible, unimaginable, shaking all of Los Angeles, forever.<\/p>\n Shout it long enough to line a parade.<\/p>\n The Dynasty Dodgers.<\/p>\n Two measly outs from a World Series Game 7 defeat, the Dodgers<\/a> roared back in the final breaths of baseball\u2019s ultimate game Saturday to pull off an ultimate victory, overtaking the gritty Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre to steal a 5-4, 11-inning win<\/a> for their second consecutive World Series championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n In becoming the first team in 25 years to win consecutive championships, in winning their third title in six seasons, the Dodgers are now certifiably a dynasty.<\/p>\n And Rojas and Smith are certifiably Dodgers icons after Rojas\u2019 home run tied the score in the ninth and Smith\u2019s home run gave them the lead and decided the game in the 11th.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve put together something pretty special, I do know that,\u201d said Manager Dave Roberts<\/a> after leading their fifth champagne party this fall. \u201cTo do what we\u2019ve done in this span of time is pretty remarkable. I guess let the pundits and all the fans talk about if it\u2019s a dynasty or not, but I\u2019m pretty happy with where we\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n The classic ended with an Alejandro Kirk double play grounder in the bottom of 11th induced by a third icon, Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a>, who finished with 2 \u2154 scoreless innings despite throwing 96 pitches 24 hours earlier.<\/p>\n The Dodgers raced to the center of the diamond where they bounced and danced in a group hug that became a massive dogpile of both exultation and relief.<\/p>\n It was a fitting celebration for an ending that was so wild, at one point Roberts simply tugged his cap down toward his eyes and shaking his head in disbelief.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were so many pressure points and how that game could have flipped, and we just kept fighting, and guys stepped up big,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cSo I could just go on and on about the big plays, the big performances, and it\u2019s one of the greatest games I\u2019ve ever been a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n With one out in the ninth, trailing 4-3, Rojas, who entered the game without a hit in a month, hit a full-count slider from Jeff Hoffman over the left-field fence for only his second home run since August.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were going to play 27 outs,\u201d said Roberts. \u201cObviously, it doesn\u2019t look great in that moment, but I trust him to take the at-bat, and he got a pitch that he could handle and hit the biggest hit he\u2019s ever had in his life.\u201d<\/p>\n Then, in the bottom of the ninth of a 4-all tie, with the Blue Jays having loaded the bases with one out, Rojas created greatness again by making a great stop of a Daulton Varsho grounder and throwing out Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the plate.<\/p>\n As if that wasn\u2019t dramatic enough, Andy Pages added to that greatness by leaping over Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez in left field to catch an Ernie Clement fly ball to end the inning.<\/p>\n Two innings later, Smith hit a Shane Bieber hanging slider 366 feet over the left-field fence for their first lead of the night, and one just knew the Dodgers weren\u2019t going to give it away.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m having a hard time unpacking it, just what a great series, what a great game, and I think we\u2019re going to be talking about this game for a long time,\u201d said Roberts.<\/p>\n It was an appropriately resilient three-inning finish that capped an ultimately inspirational eight-month marathon.<\/p>\n A season that began in Japan in March<\/a> ended in Canada on Saturday night with the Dodgers conquering all worlds in between.<\/p>\n There was arguably more pressure on this team than any other collection of players in major league history, and, yet, somehow, the Dodgers thrived.<\/p>\n In the end, the team that couldn\u2019t lose didn\u2019t lose. The invincible Hall of Fame lineup proved unbeatable. The richest team in baseball history was pure money.<\/p>\n The team that everyone outside of Los Angeles booed ended up with cheers that will echo through the ages.<\/p>\n Goliath won. Sorry about that, Davids.<\/p>\n While celebrating the sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS, Dave Roberts<\/a> famously shouted to the Dodger Stadium crowd, \u201cBefore the season they said the Dodgers are ruining baseball. Let\u2019s get four more wins and really ruin baseball!\u201d<\/p>\n In showing their mettle time and again in this classic seven-game series, the Dodgers didn\u2019t ruin baseball, they revived it.<\/p>\n It was first and foremost a victory for the Mark Walter-led Guggenheim Baseball Management. With this victory they become unquestionably the best owners in baseball and soon, with Walter\u2019s purchase of the Lakers complete<\/a>, they could soon be the best owners in all of sports.<\/p>\n They make a ton of money, but they pour it back into the team at a pace unmatched by their baseball peers. Ticket prices go up, but some of that money goes right to Freddie Freeman. Parking prices are obscene, but so is the ability of Shohei Ohtani.<\/p>\n Not once in their 13-year tenure has Guggenheim been accused of passing up talent to save money. In most other markets, that is an accusation made daily.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1762072932_101_hqdefault.jpg\")
