Get ready to feel the chill, L.A., because the Dodgers just made history, and they did it with style. For the second time in five seasons—and the first full season since way back in 1988—our boys in blue are the World Series champions! And how’d they lock it down? With a wild, gritty, and straight-up unforgettable Game 5 comeback that’s got Los Angeles buzzing.
So, let’s rewind. It’s Wednesday night, Dodgers are rolling into Game 5 with a solid 3-1 series lead over the New York Yankees, but the memory of that Game 4 stumble is hanging heavy. New York didn’t come to play—they came to win. And by the fifth inning, it’s 5-0, Yankees. Cue the whispers, the nerves, the “can they really pull this off?” questions. But here’s the thing about champions: they don’t sweat, they step up. And our Dodgers? They had ice in their veins.
The Moment It Flipped:
And then, just when it looked bleak, Mookie Betts steps up to the plate. With a bat colder than the other side of the pillow, he rocked one into the stands. The crowd at Dodger Stadium didn’t just get loud—they exploded! Suddenly, it’s not just a game; it’s a comeback party, and every Dodger in the lineup is invited. Will Smith? Bangs a double. Cody Bellinger? Knocks one in to tie it. They’re coming alive like a team possessed, swinging for the fences and charging back.
The Yankees’ closer, a flamethrower with something to prove, takes the mound. But L.A. had momentum, swagger, and something that can’t be coached—heart. The Dodgers lock down a 7-6 lead, and when the final out rings across Dodger Stadium, it’s champagne showers and electric energy everywhere. You can almost hear Stuart Scott’s voice, “Like gravy on a biscuit, it was bound to happen!”
Game Over, Season Over, History Made.
This wasn’t just a win—it was a reminder of why L.A. loves its Dodgers. They brought it home, defied the odds, and hoisted that Commissioner’s Trophy under the bright lights of Hollywood. For a city that thrives on legends, this is one for the ages. As Vin Scully might’ve said, “They did it in true Dodger style, with just a bit of flair.” And, as Stuart Scott would tell you, “Boo-yah, baby! This one’s for L.A.”
So, here’s to the Dodgers—our champs, our pride, our Hollywood ending. KMOB1003 Radio was there for every heart-stopping moment, and you know what? We wouldn’t have it any other way.
