Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named World Series MVP for the Los Angeles Dodgers with one of the greatest pitching performances in Fall Classic history, including an epic relief appearance in Game 7 on Saturday night.

On this date in 1973, Tom Seaver became the first pitcher to ever win a Cy Young Award—his second—without reaching twenty wins in a season. And on Halloween night in 2015, Michael Conforto hit a pair of home runs in Game 4 of the World Series, which unfortunately saw the Royals defeat the Mets by a 5-3 score.

Freddie Freeman’s walk off home run in the 18th (yes, 1-8!) inning guided the Dodgers to a 6-5 win in Game 3 and a 2-1 World Series lead over the Blue Jays. Freeman got to live his recurring dream a second time as he hit another walk-off home run in a World Series game, matching his feat from Game 1 in last year’s Fall Classic.

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw explains to the media the significance of Yamamoto agreeing to pitch in Game 7 of the World Series on short rest.

Millions of Japanese celebrated the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series victory, which was aided by pitcher Shohei Ohtani and World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
