Winning a championship is hard. Repeating in baseball is even harder. The last team to pull it off was the 2000 Yankees, carried by stars in their own right. Derek Jeter among them, who watched the Dodgers celebrate firsthand Saturday night.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champions. Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by the final score of 5-4 in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series on Saturday night. Los Angeles emerged victorious due to Will Smith's solo home run in the top of the 11th inning.

The list is short. The Oakland Athletics won three straight in 1972, 1973, and 1974, beating the Cincinnati Reds, the New York Mets, and the Los Angeles Dodgers to finish the run. The New York Yankees matched the feat from 1998 through 2000, closing with the Subway Series win over the New York Mets. No club has three-peated since those Yankees.

The MLB season doesn't want to end. World Series Game 7 is in extra innings. It's the second extra inning game of the Fall Classic. The first was Game 3, which went 18 innings. That 18-inning game was tied for the longest game in World Series history with a contest from the 2018 edition.
