Dodgers Digest Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball Blog
The Dodgers and Yankees met in the 2024 World Series with the two soon-to-be reigning MVPs, and the only thing bad about that was it made Rob Manfred happy.
Fortunately, the Dodgers did not make bad history after getting ahead 3-0 in the series, and they never got the chance thanks to a Game 5 meltdown of epic proportions by the Yankees instead. As such, the Dodgers get to celebrate being the 2024 World Series Champions.

The presentation ceremony was next up, where of course Dave Roberts was ready.
Then there was Freddie Freeman being the 2024 World Series MVP … the most obvious choice ever.

Dave discussed the fight this team showed, his convo with Treinen in the big moment, and keeping the team’s focus away from potentially blowing a 3-0 lead.
"I just saw a different gear in our guys: a fight. It didn't matter circumstances, who was taking the baseball, who was taking an at-bat, the score. It didn't matter. There was fight."
