In a thrilling conclusion to the 2025 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in a gripping seventh game. The match, which ended 5-4, saw the Dodgers claim their second consecutive championship title in a stunning comeback.
President Donald Trump, acknowledging their remarkable achievement, has extended a formal invitation to the Dodgers to visit the White House. This gesture follows their nail-biting victory that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
The decisive game was a rollercoaster, with the Dodgers facing elimination as they were down to their final two outs. In a dramatic twist, Miguel Rojas delivered a powerful home run to equalize the score. The tension continued to build until Will Smith’s homer in the 11th inning secured the win, sealing the Dodgers’ place in baseball history.
Trump took to Truth Social to express his admiration for the team’s tenacity and skill. “Congratulations to the L.A. Dodgers, a game won by incredible CHAMPIONS!!!” he exclaimed. He praised the team’s resilience, noting, “A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6, for that matter. So many stars made it all happen. Also, congratulations to ownership. What a great job they have done.”
The Dodgers’ victory not only highlights their athletic prowess but also underscores the dedication and strategic brilliance of the entire team and management, as recognized by the President.
The president ended his message with an all-caps promise:
” SEE YOU ALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!”
It will be the second time since Trump took office that the Dodgers will come to Washington. They visited the White House earlier this year to celebrate winning the 2024 World Series.
Trump is a sports fan, and since assuming the presidency in January has attended a number of high-profile events. Since returning to the White House, Trump attended the Super Bowl in New Orleans and the Daytona 500 in Florida, where his motorcade drove a portion of the track. While president-elect he went to a UFC fight in New York.
What happened in game 7 of the World Series?
In a World Series for the ages that went back and forth again and again, Will Smith delivered the biggest swing of all for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Smith connected in the 11th for the first extra-inning homer in a winner-take-all title game, and Miguel Rojas became the first player to hit a tying home run in the ninth inning of a Game 7. On a roller-coaster night of see-sawing emotions, the Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 Saturday to become the first repeat champion in a quarter century.
“You dream of those moments,” Smith said after the 4-hour, 7-minute thriller. “I’ll remember that for forever.”
In the type of dramatic Game 7 that kids conjure in backyards, the Blue Jays led 3-0 on Bo Bichette’s third-inning homer off Shohei Ohtani and 4-2 before Max Muncy’s eighth-inning solo homer off star rookie Trey Yesavage.
Toronto was two outs from its first championship since 1993 when Rojas, inserted into the slumping Dodgers lineup in Game 6 to provide some energy, homered on a full-count slider from Jeff Hoffman and stunned the Rogers Centre crowd of 44,713.
“I’ve cost everybody in here a World Series ring,” Hoffman said.
