The 2025 World Series saw the Dodgers split the first two games in Toronto, with Game 2 highlighted by Yoshinobu Yamamoto's masterful complete game, the first at a World Series since 2015, which even in a loss was remembered as one of his greatest moments. Media coverage emphasized Yamamoto's difficulty to gameplan against and his exceptional pitching. The series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3, with media focusing on the intense rivalry, player reactions, and strategic decisions, including Max Scherzer starting instead of Bieber. The Blue Jays' resilience was noted, especially their Game 1 victory with key contributions from Guerrero Jr., Kirk, and Barger, and their underdog mentality remains a theme. The series also features dramatic moments such as Barger's historic pinch-hit grand slam, Springer’s game-winning home run in Game 7, and Guerrero Jr.'s offensive prowess. Media commentary included praise for players like Springer, Guerrero Jr., and Scherzer, with discussions on the Blue Jays' game plan against Ohtani and their motivation to reclaim the title. The coverage highlighted the emotional atmosphere in Toronto, the strategic choices made by managers, and the significance of the series for Canadian baseball. The media also covered other sports and political topics, but the focus remains on the Blue Jays' historic playoff run and the series' high-stakes battles.
