The 2024 MLB World Series ended after the New York Yankees self-destructed to hand the Los Angeles Dodgers a 7-6 win in Game 5 on Wednesday to seal their eighth title.
While the Dodgers stars put in strong performances during the series, their opponents from New York failed to step up to the occasion. While the Yankees won Game 4, they imploded in Game 5 despite having a commanding 5-0 lead.
As expected, MLB fans came up with creative memes to react to the result. Here's look a some of the most popular reactions.
Trending
While most of the memes focused on Shohei Ohtani and his star teammates Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, some also featured his former teammate Mike Trout.
The Los Angeles Angels slugger is one of the best players of his generation and one half of the team's star duo that featured Ohtani until last year. While the Japanese star has now won a World Series title in his first year, Trout is yet to make an appearance in the Fall Classic.
While Yankees captain Aaron Judge seemed to finally arrive in the series early in the game, his defensive error in the fifth sparked the LA comeback. While several players have picked up heat from fans, a video of former Boston Red Sox player David Ortiz celebrating New York's demise is also gaining a lot of attention online.
Dodgers star Freddie Freeman wins World Series MVP after clinching second championship
Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Freddie Freeman was undoubtedly the star of the 2024 World Series and has been named MVP of the series.
After not hitting a homer for more than a month, the slugger blasted home runs in the first four games of the series to set a World Series record for the most consecutive games with a home run, with six.
Freeman contributed on Wednesday as well, hitting a two-run single off Gerrit Cole in the fifth inning to help the Dodgers come back into the game. Hence, it was not a surprise that he was named the MVP of the World series for the first time.
