The World Series is a legendary fall baseball tournament to determine the top team in the MLB<\/a>. After a long, 162-game regular season, the playoffs begin and they ultimately end with a best-of-seven series between the final two teams standing to decide the World Series Championship. Join us as we reminisce over the previous decade and highlight the top teams, players and plays and take a look at the past 10 World Series Champions.<\/p>\n 2025 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> won the 2025 World Series, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> in a dramatic Game 7 to clinch their second consecutive championship title. The victory makes the Dodgers as the first team in 25 years to repeat as World Series champions, after winning in 2024. The Dodgers won 5-4 in 11 innings at Rogers Centre in Toronto, highlighted by a game-winning home run from Will Smith and a clutch game-tying homer from Miguel Rojas in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n 2024 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> won their second World Series in five seasons with a stunning 7-6 comeback win over the New York Yankees<\/a> on October 30, 2024. The Dodgers won the first two games of the series at home in Dodger Stadium<\/a>, and put even more pressure on the Yankees by winning Game 3 in New York. With a 3-0 Dodgers series lead, the Yankees won Game 4 easily thanks to an 11-run outburst. For half of Game 5, it looked like the Yankees were en route to a victory. But New York\u2019s 5-0 lead in the game disappeared in a disastrous fifth inning in which Los Angeles tied the game with five unearned runs. The Dodgers then took the lead on a Mookie Betts sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and starting pitcher Walker Buehler came out of the bullpen to shut the door in the ninth for the championship-clinching close. Los Angeles\u2019 star first baseman Freddie Freeman, who hit a walk-off grand slam in Game 1 and added home runs in Games 2, 3 and 4, won World Series MVP honors. The championship is the eighth in franchise history for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n 2023 World Series Champions: Texas Rangers<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Texas Rangers<\/a> won their first World Series title in franchise history in 2023, topping the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> in five games. The deciding game took place at Chase Field<\/a>, home of the NL Champion Diamondbacks. Texas\u2019 bats were silent for a large part of the game, as Arizona ace and Game 5 starter Zac Gallen did not give up a hit until the seventh inning. But once Corey Seager, who was later named World Series MVP, got the team\u2019s first hit on an opposite-field single, the floodgates opened for the Rangers offense. Texas scored one run in the seventh inning and then four in the ninth, capped off by a massive two-run home run by Marcus Semien, to seal the win.<\/p>\n 2022 World Series Champions: Houston Astros<\/p>\n The Houston Astros<\/a> won the 2022 World Series after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> 4\u20132 on November 5, 2022, at Minute Maid Park<\/a> in Houston, Texas. The Phillies won Game 1 6\u20135 after securing a run in the 10th inning. Cristian Javier, Bryan Abreu, Rafael Montero, and Ryan Pressly of the Astros threw a combined no-hitter in Game 4 of this series. This was only the second time a no-hitter has been thrown in the World Series, with the first being in 1956 when Don Larsen of the New York Yankees threw a perfect game in a Game 5 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers.<\/p>\n 2021 World Series Champions: Atlanta Braves<\/p>\n The Atlanta Braves<\/a> won their first World Series championship since 1995 when they defeated the Houston Astros<\/a> 4\u20132 on November 2, 2021, at Minute Maid Park<\/a> in Houston, Texas. This marked the third World Series appearance for the Houston Astros since they won the championship in 2017. Jorge Soler of the Braves was awarded the Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Player Award after hitting three home runs, a .300 batting average and six RBIs in the series.<\/p>\n 2020 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers<\/p>\n The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> won the 2020 World Series after beating the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> 4\u20132 on October 27, 2020, at Globe Life Field<\/a> in Arlington, Texas. The COVID-19 pandemic shortened the 2020 MLB season to only 60 games. Also due to the pandemic, the entire World Series was played at the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Highlights of this series include Brandon Lowe of Tampa Bay hitting two home runs in Game 2 and the Dodgers\u2019 Corey Seager batting 8\u201320 (.400) with two home runs and five RBIs in the series leading Seager to win the World Series MVP Award.<\/p>\n 2019 World Series Champions: Washington Nationals<\/p>\n The Washington Nationals<\/a> beat the Houston Astros<\/a> 4\u20133 to become World Series Champions on October 30, 2019, at Minute Maid Park<\/a> in Houston, Texas. This marked the first World Series win for the Nationals. Pitcher Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals was named World Series MVP after securing two wins in the series. This series was notable for being the only World Series to not have a home team win a game.<\/p>\n 2018 World Series Champions: Boston Red Sox<\/p>\n The Boston Red Sox<\/a> defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> 4\u20131 to win the World Series on October 28, 2018, at Dodger Stadium<\/a> in Los Angeles, California. This win secured the fourth title for the Red Sox in 15 years, with Boston previously winning in 2004, 2007 and 2013. The highlight of this series was the record-setting Game 3, which lasted 18 innings, with the Dodgers winning the game 3\u20132.<\/p>\n 2017 World Series Champions: Houston Astros<\/p>\n The Houston Astros<\/a> beat the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> 4\u20133 to win the World Series Championship on November 1, 2017, at Dodger Stadium<\/a> in Los Angeles. This win marked the first World Series Championship for the Astros. Houston\u2019s outfielder, George Springer, hit five home runs, with a record-setting four home runs in consecutive World Series games. Springer was named the Willie Mays World Series Most Valuable Player.<\/p>\n 2016 World Series Champions: Chicago Cubs<\/p>\n The Chicago Cubs<\/a> ended a 108-year World Series drought when they defeated the Cleveland Guardians<\/a> 4\u20133 on November 2, 2016, at Progressive Field<\/a> in Cleveland, Ohio. Game 7 of this series is arguably the greatest World Series game in history. Game 7 started off with a leadoff home run by Dexter Fowler of the Cubs, the first player in history to do so in Game 7 of the World Series. The game was then tied in the third inning, with the Cubs eventually going up 5\u20131 by the top of the 5th. The Guardians then rallied and tied the game 6\u20136 after scoring three in the bottom of the eighth. The game went into overtime where the Cubs outscored the Guardians 2\u20131 in the 10th inning, winning the game 8\u20137 and clinching a World Series Championship.<\/p>\n World Series Winners by
