Dodgers Win 2024 World Series Cementing Modern Era Dominance

The New York Yankees have delivered some of the most iconic single-game performances in World Series history, with Reggie Jackson's three home runs in Game 6 of the 1977 Series and Hideki Matsui's dominant 2009 Game 6 display standing out as legendary moments that secured championships for the franchise. Across Major League Baseball, recent World Series champions include the Dodgers in 2024, the Rangers in 2023, and the Astros in 2022, each showcasing their unique journeys to the title through strong rosters and resilience. Memorable games extend beyond the Yankees, such as the 2018 World Series Game 3 between the Red Sox and Dodgers, known for its 18-inning marathon and dramatic walk-off home run by Max Muncy, echoing in a similar 18-inning duel in 2025 involving the Blue Jays and Dodgers. Highlights from the 2025 World Series also feature Shohei Ohtani facing Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who hit a crucial two-run homer in Game 4, helping the Blue Jays even the series. Additionally, historical World Series moments like the Chicago Cubs' 2016 title, their first since 1945, and other legendary Game 7 heroics by players such as Maz and Jack Morris continue to resonate in baseball lore. These performances collectively celebrate the enduring excitement and drama of October baseball across eras and teams.
