TORONTO — Game 7 was so insane, so compelling, so breathtaking, so dramatic, that when the final out was made early Sunday morning, Dodgers three-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw looked at his teammates in disbelief.
“What, we just won?" Kershaw said. “Really? Are you sure?’ I was warming up. I really had no idea we won."
It was that kind of night, and when the Los Angeles Dodgers started boarded their buses from Rogers Centre at nearly 3 in the morning, they still had trouble digesting what just transpired.
Yes, the Dodgers really won the World Series, 5-4, in 11 innings over the Toronto Blue Jays, becoming the first team in a quarter-century to go back-to-back.
The hero who saved the game with his ninth-inning homer, and then his glove, Miguel Rojas, had a partially dislocated rib and didn’t even know if he could play until mid-afternoon.
