In the history of Major League Baseball, there have been 670 World Series games and just four have featured three catchers appearing for the same team. But only once in all those years and all those contests have all three catchers also produced a hit and RBI.
This year, the one-year player list is even more exhaustive, including three starting pitchers, two starting outfielders, and the starting second baseman, among others. Yet, the focus is not on these potential free agents but rather on the clear goal of winning the World Series.
Vlad Guerrero Jr., he always looks good... That man is motivated. That man, as we saw in the postseason, the entire world got a glimpse of what Toronto fans already knew. He is not just a hitter. He is not just a power hitter... He is an above-average defender at first base, and he is an excellent baserunner, as well.
In just four years, the Dodgers star has won two championships and hit the first and only walk-off grand slam in World Series history. Freeman's Hall of Fame legacy appears destined to be defined by what he has and will accomplish with the Dodgers.
It's a statue that should've been built a long time ago. Carter spent seven of his 16 big league seasons with the Jays, helping the team win the World Series in both 1992 and 1993. With the Blue Jays down 8-6 in the ninth inning of Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, Carter stepped up to the plate with two runners on.
Getting to the big leagues just over a year after being drafted doesn't happen very often. It's even rarer for a player to make their MLB debut in September and find their way on to a World Series roster just weeks later. But that's what Trey Yesavage did in 2025 and the story book start to his career came up just inches short of the ultimate dream ending.
the Texans and Cardinals was not particularly well played defensively, nor well pitched; however, it is one of the best WS games I've ever seen. Wow. And that sets up the last waltz tonight for the crown. Remember when pundits were laughing at MLB and Selig because there was no Yankees, Sawx or Phillies in the Series and how it would be TV ratings scum? I do, and it has turned out quite nicely thank you very much. Best Series in a while actually.
Broadcaster Joe Davis was put in a bit of a pickle the last two seasons. The lead broadcaster for FOX, he had the task of calling the last two World Series featuring the team he covers on a daily basis in the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite his young age relative to the profession, Davis is a pro - and is undeniably objective in calling games even when he has immense familiarity/relationships with the Dodgers organization.
