"Miguel Rojas was the catalyst for the Dodgers' most important inning of the whole season, with a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth and later a defensive play to keep Game 7 tied. The Dodgers desperately needed every single one of Yoshinobu Yamamoto's 17.2 innings pitched in the World Series, including the final 2.2 frames he delivered in Game 7 on zero days of rest."
"The final two outs of Game 7 came on a double play started by Mookie Betts to clinch the championship, quite the fitting end for his journey making the full-time transition to shortstop in 2025. Yamamoto's hat and Betts' glove from Game 7 are among the many items donated to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., where they will forever remain as artifacts of perhaps the greatest World Series win of all-time."
"Other items that will be display include Freddie Freeman's bat from Game 3, the glove Will Klein used in Game 3 and a base from the 18-inning marathon. Yamamoto's historic efforts against the Blue Jays earned him World Series MVP, going 3-0 while allowing just two runs on nine hits with 15 strikeouts and two walks."
