Whereas the Dodgers' opponents in the 2025 World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays,
demonstrated true sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect for the game;
Whereas every member of the 2025 Dodgers roster, one of the most diverse in
Major League Baseball with players from 6 countries, played a key part
in winning back-to-back World Series for the first time in 25 years;
Whereas Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named Most Valuable Player for
the 2025 World Series after he went 3-0 with a 1.02 earned run average,
threw a complete game in Game 2, and induced the series winning double
play in extra innings in Game 7 while pitching in consecutive games with
no days rest;
Whereas the reigning National League Most Valuable Player Shohei Ohtani played a
starring role in the 2025 season for the Dodgers, and was named Most
Valuable Player for the 2025 National League Championship Series
following his two-way performance of throwing 10 strikeouts and hitting
3 home runs in Game 4;
Whereas Dodgers catcher Will Smith recorded the most innings as a catcher in
World Series history and hit the game and series winning homerun in Game
7;
Whereas Miguel Rojas hit a game-tying homerun with 1 out in the top of the ninth
inning of Game 7 and made numerous significant defensive contributions
throughout the series;
Whereas Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recorded his third World Series
Championship since joining the organization in 2016;
Whereas the Dodgers overcame a three-run deficit to win 5 to 4 in extra innings
in Game 7 of the World Series;
