It was only fitting that Game 7 of the World Series between the Blue Jays and Dodgers ended in another extra-inning thriller, but it was ultimately L.A. who emerged with baseball's biggest prize in front of thousands of heartbroken Blue Jays fans at Rogers Center.
The Blue Jays held a slim lead until the top of the ninth, when the Dodgers evened things up and sent the game to extra innings. In the 11th inning, Dodgers' Will Smith crushed a homer to put his team in front, 5-4. Yoshinobu Yamamoto—who would go on to win World Series MVP—then stepped onto the mound and helped induce a game-ending double play to clinch the title for the defending champs.
