Dodgers Win World Series Seventh Game Over Blue Jays Amid Blue Jays' Gold Glove Snubs

The 2025 MLB season concluded with the Los Angeles Dodgers winning the World Series in a thrilling 11-inning Game 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays, highlighted by key home runs from Miguel Rojas and Will Smith. A father and son duo from Toronto collected the game-changing home run balls, which they value highly and might sell for millions. The Gold Glove Awards, recognizing defensive excellence, saw limited representation from the World Series teams; notably, Ty France, who split his season between the Twins and Blue Jays, won the American League Gold Glove at first base. Despite his award, many Blue Jays fans were disappointed that key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Alejandro Kirk, and Ernie Clement were overlooked, sparking debate over the selections. The season also featured historic achievements by players like Max Fried, Steven Kwan, and Ian Happ, each winning their fourth career Gold Glove, and several first-time winners from other teams. Overall, while the Dodgers triumphed on the field, the Blue Jays' defensive accolades sparked mixed reactions among fans and analysts.
