Dodgers Go Back-to-Back in Epic World Series Finish
You could almost feel Los Angeles vibrating last night. Inside Crypto.com Arena, where the Kings had just dropped a tough one to the Devils, thousands of fans stayed glued to their seats — not for hockey, but for baseball. On the big screen, the Los Angeles Dodgers were fighting for their second straight World Series championship, and no one wanted to miss a moment.
The arena, usually echoing with the sharp sounds of skates and sticks, turned into a sea of blue and white as the Dodgers’ Game 7 showdown against the Toronto Blue Jays played out live. The energy was electric. Every hit, every pitch, every moment brought new waves of cheers from fans who had already endured one heartbreak that night but were now riding a new emotional rollercoaster.

During the Kings’ third period, a split screen went up — hockey on one side, the World Series on the other. And when Kings forward Andrei Kuzmenko scored, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect: it was shown at the exact moment Miguel Rojas crushed a game-tying home run in the eighth inning for the Dodgers. The crowd exploded in disbelief and joy. Even Devils coach Sheldon Keefe admitted later that the noise made it hard to think — though his goalie somehow stayed locked in amid the chaos.
Moments later, the Dodgers’ Will Smith stepped up and delivered the shot that would live forever in World Series lore — a towering ninth-inning home run that sealed a dramatic 5–4 win over the Blue Jays. The Kings’ organist, Dieter Ruehle, didn’t miss a beat. He broke into “Let’s Go Dodgers!” and then, as champagne flowed in two different parts of L.A., he capped it off with Randy Newman’s classic “I Love L.A.”
Meanwhile, in Toronto, the heartbreak was almost poetic. The Jays had it. They were one out away from glory, the city bracing for celebration after decades of waiting. But baseball can be cruel. Rojas’s homer tied it, Smith’s sealed it, and Toronto’s dream dissolved in silence. For many, it will be remembered as one of the greatest baseball games ever played — a true masterpiece of drama, tension, and heartbreak.
For Los Angeles, it was pure euphoria. For Toronto, it was the kind of loss that lingers for a lifetime — the kind that defines a city’s sports soul. And for everyone watching, whether inside an NHL arena or from their living rooms, it was a reminder of why we love sports at all: for nights like this, when heartbreak and triumph share the same breath, and when an entire city sings together, “I love L.A.”
