"The Dodgers are the 2025 World Series champions. With their 5-4 win in 11 innings over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 on Saturday, the Dodgers became the first back-to-back World Series champions in 25 years. Here's a look at each of the 22 other times the franchise played in the World Series, from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, before this year's run to the franchise's ninth title."
"One of the rare nine-game World Series. This Series featured the only World Series triple play, the first World Series grand slam (Cleveland's Elmer Smith) and the first World Series home run by a pitcher (Cleveland's Jim Bagby). All three of those things happened in Game 5. This was the last World Series until 1980 to feature two teams that had never won the title."
