The Dodger winning in 2025 game 7 over the Blue Jays is already being called the greatest finale in World Series baseball history
Posted By RichC on November 2, 2025
Brenda and I were “emotionally” invested in the very competitive 2025 World Series. Having watched nearly every game of the playoffs … and all 7 nail-biting World Series games, gave us time to learn more about the teams and players. We pick favorites and I even found myself nicknaming them.
After the final pitch late last night, the LA Dodgers, a well-funded 2024 World Series championship team, were able to edged out the season-long, offensive powerhouse Toronto Blue Jays, but not without a struggle. Although we favored the Dodgers last year over the Yankees, 
we saw the Blue Jays as underdogs and found ourselves cheering for them … a Canadian team against a U.S. team and all. 😉
Towards the end, with the series tied up 3 games to 3 games, game 7 in Toronto saw the Los Angeles Dodgers inch past the Blue Jays in a 5-4 win; it was an agonizing 11-inning final game.
The Blue Jays had the lead by a slim margin for most of the game after taking the lead early with a home run by Bo Bichette. Finally in the 8th inning, Max Muncy homered for the Dodgers … and then Miguel Rojas, who came in after a late lineup change for the Dodgers, hit a game-tying home run in the 9th inning against reliever Jeff Hoffman. Off to extra innings again (although not as long as 18-inning game 3 in LA).
Finally, in the 11th inning, the Dodgers Will Smith hit a two-out, go-ahead home run off Shane Bieber, giving them their first lead of the night! With a half-inning left for the home team in the bottom of the 11th, Toronto got runners on the corners with only one out. Unfortunately, the unofficial team captain, Alejandro “Captain” Kirk grounded into a double play to end the game … and the 2025 series. As I commented on X.com prior to the game ending, “It has been a great #WorldSeries
no matter the outcome.”
