Have had a "Baseball Jones" for more than 70 years. For my tastes, watching a baseball game on television had become tedious.  That being said...

Game 1 was one of the best baseball games I've ever seen/watched.

I agree. When the game came on, Mrs. L asked if I wanted to watch it because she would watch something else in another room. She sat down for the start of the game and never missed a pitch until it was over. Instant classic.

Historic! I almost missed it. I zonked when the score was 2-1 Yankees. I woke up in time to rewind to that point and watch the end of the game. I got chills, especially when the announcer channeled Vin Scully, followed by "Gibby, meet Freddie!" Poor Nestor.

Gotta love those Yankee fans!  **nononono*

You'll find that kind of fan all along the OF walls at Yankee Stadium.  That is not an accident, and purely intentional.  Kyle Tucker got doused with beer last season in a long Fly Out along the RF wall.

Just one of many reasons  why the NYY fan base are the most sniveling, and entitlement driven pukes in MLB.    And why their longest drought of World Championships (15 years) gives me a warm sense of schadenfreude.

While not a fan as such, I find myself having a soft spot for the Dodgers. Back in the early 80’s I spent a lot of time in California and I would go to ballgames there when I could. I can say that I spent some of the most pleasant, picture-perfect baseball outings of my life at Dodger Stadium. The sounds, the smells, all the senses were tuned for baseball. It was wonderful and it stayed with me.

Didn't care to watch, but never miss a WS box score.

My thoughts?  Thank God, we didn't re-sign Gerrit Cole.

I am glad the Dodgers won. But only because they were playing against the Skankees.

@Lando Lincoln

I once lived out there (actually about 6 or 7 minutes from the stadium) and never attended a game. I wasn't into baseball at the time. What I wouldn't give to turn back time for a few days to have been able to be part of this series.

I wasn't particularly rooting for the Dodgers, but my son-in-law is allllllll about the Dodgers so I got to enjoy his enthusiasm during the series. The assault on Mookie by those entitled Yankees punks cranked my preference for the Dodgers to a level 10, so I was all in when they won -- even if it was mostly the Stankees beating themselves in that 5th game.

Cole is too full of himself these days. I'm glad he wound up on the losing end. Let's see. How many WS rings does he have now?

I wasn't rooting for the Dodgers, either, but I WAS rooting for Freddie Freeman.  That worked out just fine for me.   :laugh:

Apparently, in addition to the sprained ankle, he also had broken rib cartilage he was playing through.  Pretty wild.

Reports: World Series MVP Freddie Freeman also played through major rib injury

Freddie Freeman authored a World Series MVP performance for the ages, and not just because the Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman dealt with a badly sprained ankle throughout the team's playoff run.

Freeman also suffered broken cartilage in his rib just before the Dodgers began their postseason in the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres, ESPN and The Washington Post reported.

Yes, but there's a lot of wheeling and dealing and assembling of 2025 teams. Isn't that up for discussion on the baseball thread?
