The series unfolded against a backdrop of political tension between the United States and Canada, but it was the big-spending Dodgers who ultimately triumphed over Canada's only MLB franchise. Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani faced challenges as he started on the mound for the Dodgers but managed to remain in the game as the designated hitter under the 'Ohtani rule' after being pulled as a pitcher.

Amidst thrilling plays, Toronto's veteran pitcher Max Scherzer left the game in the fifth inning with the Blue Jays still holding the lead. The Dodgers rallied, with pivotal plays that showcased the pressure of a Game 7, a rare occurrence in World Series history.

Ultimately, Smith's 11th-inning home run put the Dodgers in the lead, and while the Blue Jays mounted a last-ditch effort to extend the game, the Dodgers maintained their advantage with Yamamoto earning the win in relief and the MVP accolade. This World Series will be remembered not only for the Dodgers' exceptional performance but also for the electrifying drama that unfolded on the field.
