"But I tell you what, man - you can't buy the character and the heart and the willingness to do things that other people would not. All the way down our lineup. What Will Smith did - to catch 18 innings, catch a whole game, come up with a big home run. Mookie playing shortstop. Freddie doing what he does. It's all our superstars."
"There's a lot of superstars in this game but I don't think they're all like that. I don't think they're all willing to do whatever it takes for their team. That's what makes us special. That's what makes this team special. We have a lot of superstars, but they're willing to do whatever it takes to help us win the World Series. You saw that tonight."
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured back-to-back World Series championships with an 11th-inning Game 7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Key contributors included Will Smith, who scored twice and hit the go-ahead homer in the 11th, Shohei Ohtani, who reached base three times despite a rough pitching start, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who threw 2.2 scoreless innings on one day of rest to finish the game. The roster combined high-profile acquisitions with existing talent to stay competitive. Team leaders credited character, heart, and a willingness to perform unglamorous tasks as central to sustained success.
