After a thrilling 7-6 win over the New York Yankees in Game 5, the Los Angeles Dodgers have proven themselves as a dominant force in MLB. Third baseman Max Muncy was candid about what it means to claim the World Series title against such a historic franchise.
Despite numerous injuries and challenges throughout the season, the Dodgers managed to stay on top and achieve their ultimate goal: winning the World Series. It’s worth noting that the Dodgers’ 2020 title came during the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in an abbreviated season and a bubble postseason. Due to the unusual circumstances, some questioned the legitimacy of that championship.
However, the 2024 title is indisputable. The Dodgers faced various obstacles, including injuries to key players like Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and several pitchers. Despite these setbacks, the team demonstrated resilience and determination to reach the top.
Muncy spoke about the excitement of winning the title against the Yankees: “I don’t mean this in a bad way, but it just feels right playing a World Series at Yankee Stadium. The franchise with the most World Series titles, one of the longest-tenured franchises—it just felt right,” Muncy said.
