To be fair, Hudson had nothing to do with the Dodgers' whirlwind 7-6 victory that clinched their first adult-sized World Series in 36 years on Wednesday night. In fact, his last big moment in the series was giving up a grand slam to Anthony Volpe that blew Game 4 to smithereens the night before. But in a postseason dominated by a relentless Dodger bullpen, every little bit helped even when it hurt.
The fact that it did not crush the Dodgers along the way left as much of an impression as megadental MVP Freddie Freeman. Years from now, fans who watched this series will realize that not only do they remember exactly what Ryan Brasier and Anthony Banda look like, but that they spent as much time around them as members of their immediate family for a month in 2024.
