"It's time to crown the champion of America's pastime-even if a Canadian team earned its way into the battle. The first pitch of the 2025 World Series will be thrown out tonight: Friday, October 24. The Toronto Blue Jays will try to stop the Los Angeles Dodgers from becoming the first team since the 2000 Yankees to win consecutive championships. The Blue Jays will also try to prevent Shohei Ohtani from making any baseball history. Both feats are a tall order."
"The boys in blue swept the Milwaukee Brewers, who had the best regular-season record, in the playoffs. This is the franchise's fifth appearance in the World Series in the last nine years. Ohtani already made history in game four with what some are calling the greatest playoff performance in Major League Baseball history. He hit three home runs and pitched six scoreless innings, only allowing two hits. He struck out 10 batters."
The 2025 World Series opens Friday, October 24, between the American League Toronto Blue Jays and the National League Los Angeles Dodgers. Toronto finished the regular season 94-68 and clinched the AL berth after George Springer's game-winning home run against the Seattle Mariners; the Blue Jays last played in a World Series in 1993. The Dodgers finished 93-69, swept the Milwaukee Brewers in the playoffs, and are making their fifth World Series appearance in nine years. Shohei Ohtani produced a historic Game Four performance, homering three times, pitching six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out ten.
