The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the World Series, beating the New York Yankees 4-1. After a historic comeback in Game 5 thanks to some sloppy defense, they have captured the eighth title in franchise history. Fans couldn't be in their stadium for the win since they won on the road, but they can still buy some gear to honor this season's impressive accomplishment.
There is dedicated World Series gear for every single team that wins it. The MLB prepares it for whenever those teams secure the championship, so players have some as soon as the series ends. Fans can get it online, too. It doesn't become available until after the series, but you can order it and wait.
The place to do this is MLB Shop. This is the official site for all MLB gear, and it has all the licensed gear from the championship. The special Dodgers gear that marks their victory over the New York Yankees is all there.
This includes hats, shirts, hoodies, baseballs, pennants and so much more. It is all there in the dedicated World Series section. Prices range from $10 for something small to $4,000 for a signed jersey or other items.
How did the Dodgers earn a World Series title?
This gear is only available because the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series. They did so off the strength of a stellar run through the first three games. A Freddie Freeman walk-off grand slam earned the opening win and provided momentum for the next two.
The Yankees bounced back in Game 4 by trouncing the Dodgers' bullpen and putting up 11 runs. In Game 5, they had a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning when three inexplicable defensive mistakes cost them and allowed the Dodgers to come back and tie it.
Later, two sacrifice flies got the Dodgers the lead after Giancarlo Stanton got New York back in front temporarily. An Aaron Judge double and a Jazz Chisholm Jr. walk were the only pieces of a rally the Yankees made from there, and they went down easily in the ninth to secure the title for LA.
