Last night, Jimmy Kimmel Live! welcomed some very special guests: the freshly crowned World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Still reeking of champagne, the team including Will Smith, Kiki Hernandez, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and manager Dave Roberts shared stories from arguably the best World Series ever. Here’s a recap of Game 7.

Kimmel kicked things off with a nod to their historic achievement. “Maybe next year,” he joked, referencing the Blue Jays fans cheering in Toronto, the site of the Dodgers’ thrilling Game 6 and 7 victories.

The conversation quickly turned to the unforgettable championship parade. For some, like Blake Snell, it was their first time experiencing the sheer scale of a Dodgers victory celebration. “Not even like up in Seattle back home for the Seahawks,” Snell admitted. The crowd’s energy was electric. Glasnow, who grew up in L.A. and was a Dodgers fan (he said his favorite players were Shawn Green and Clayton Kershaw), had to get around 200 tickets for friends and family throughout the postseason. He said it cost around a cool $60,000.

Then came the wild stories from Toronto after the final out. The Dodgers shut down their hotel, celebrating long into the night. Kirby Yates stole the spotlight, keeping a promise he made as a rookie: getting a tattoo of the Super Smash Bros. character Kirby holding a World Series trophy on his backside.

Pitching heroics were also a highlight. Dave Roberts couldn’t stop praising Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who pitched a staggering 17 innings over the World Series. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” Roberts marveled. “Do you even need any other pitchers?” The answer: not really.

Then there’s Will Smith, who endured all 18 innings of Game 3 behind the plate. “I started cramping up in the 13th inning,” he revealed, describing the physical toll of catching every pitch. But exhaustion didn’t stop him or the team from leaving it all out there. Smith also talked about the play at the plate when Rojas threw it to him and his foot came off the base for a second. “Yeah, it was a little closer than I would have liked and I still don’t like seeing it because somehow it feels like they’re going to reverse it now.”

Of course, the heart-stopping ninth inning of Game 7 made everyone hold their breath when Toronto’s Ernie Clement hit a deep fly ball to left center. Kiki gave a behind-the-scenes look at how the near-missed catch went down because of his teammate Andy Pages: “Okay, so base is loaded, ninth inning, ball drops, we lose, right? I get a bad jump because the pitch almost bounced. He kind of like put the bat on the ball. I broke half step in and then I’m running. And I’m thinking about my entire life as I’m following this ball. And I felt like I’ve ran 400-meter dash and as I’m finally about to catch the ball and the only thing I got to worry about is the wall, right? And I’m like, World Series on the line. I’m going to run through it. If you look at the video, I’m slowing down cuz I’ve got it. And out of nowhere, I felt like an NBA player cuz my teammate posterized me. And I go down and in my head everything is quiet, which should have told me that he caught it. But I’m like my brain is protecting me from heartbreak. We just lost this World Series because my teammate dunked on me and I’m just laying on the ground sad because we had just lost the World Series. And I feel a tap on the back. He’s (Pages) like, ‘Are you okay?’ And I was like, ‘F me being okay. Did you catch it?’ He goes, ‘Yeah, I caught it.’ I was like, ‘Oh yeah, let’s go.'”

And as for next season, Kik Hernandez said, “I’m currently unemployed, so I don’t know if I’ll be back, but if I’m back then three repeat. And if I’m with another team, good luck to them.”

Here’s hoping Kiki is back, at least for the stories.
