Dodgers Secure Back-To-Back MLB Titles Despite Criticism from Former Player

The 2025 World Series concluded with the Los Angeles Dodgers defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in a dramatic seven-game series, marking the Dodgers' second consecutive championship. Despite their victory, Caleb Joseph, a former MLB catcher and current Blue Jays analyst, stirred controversy by declaring the Blue Jays were the better team and did not deserve to lose, sparking a heated social media exchange. Dodgers outfielder Kiké Hernández responded by mockingly celebrating that the "better team didn’t win," highlighting the ongoing rivalry and tension between the teams. The Dodgers’ triumph was marked by a low offensive output, with few runs scored, reflecting a rare but effective strategy against strong Blue Jays pitching. Key moments included a controversial "lodged ball" call in Game 6 and a late-game comeback in Game 7, underscoring the Dodgers' resilience. While some fans criticized Joseph's comments as sour grapes, the series showcased the unpredictable nature of baseball where ultimately winning four games defines the champion.
