Los Angeles has officially transformed into Titletown.
For the second time in October, the city claimed a major sports championship as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-1, in Game 6 of the 2020 World Series. Of course, the LeBron James-led Lakers already brought home the NBA title after topping the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.
The Dodgers triumph ends a 32-year championship drought for one of MLB’s most decorated franchises. Not since Kirk Gibson and Orel Hershiser became postseason legends in 1988 has the team’s season culminated with a celebration. It some ways, the wait felt a lot longer. Probably because the Dodgers have fallen short time and time again since becoming perennial World Series contenders in 2013. Now, all of that built-up pain and frustration can give way to jubilation.
Of course, completing the task wasn’t easy. Rays’ starter Blake Snell had them baffled once again, striking out nine — raising his World Series total to 18 — while allowing just two hits through 5 1/3 innings. However, a stunningly early hook by Rays manager Kevin Cash gave Los Angeles the opening it needed to strike.
Mookie Betts, who many believed would be the difference-maker for Los Angeles in 2020, once again showed us why. He greeted reliever Nick Anderson with a one-out double that put the Dodgers series-winning sixth-inning rally in motion. After a wild pitch scored the tying run, Betts raced home with the go-ahead run on Corey Seager’s grounder to first.

Oh, but Mookie wasn’t done. One minute it’s his baserunning that has everyone buzzing. The next minute it’s his power that’s putting a stamp on the 2020 season.

Congratulation for LA Dodgers and their fans!
As a sport fan, I knew how difficult to be World Champion of major sports in USA.
It has been 32 years to them for this trophy. I have thought about you all along, while
I was watching Game 6. I think LA Dodgers had better and more weapons and those were
differences between evenly matched these two great teams!
Thanks for detailed informations! Hahnjoong! KJ -
Thank you, Kyu Jeong, for your comment.
Poor Kevin Cash, Rays manager, has to take all the blame for the loss.
I certainly would not have pulled their best pitcher Blake Snell.
Instead, I would have told Snell that you are our best hope, and
I will go with you as long as you want.
The article said Cash normally does that, but the situation was not normal,
and Snell could not have been sharper allowing no runs and only two hits
when he was pulled. What a shame! Tampa Bay fans certainly have something to complain about.

Hindsight is always 20/20.
I think the main culprit for Coach Cash's unusual decision was Tampa's one-player offense
comparing to the Dodgers' multiple offensive weapons. Soon or later it was going to have happened to me.
Dodgers's group of relievers were awesome and we should give Coach, Roberts credits for that.
Dodgers have been a fair share of trials and errors for the past few times and this was the year for them! KJ
LA now has two championship teams, Lakers and Dodgers.
Just now watching Dodgers clinch the championship and
all that excitement makes me slightly excited as well
reminding me of those days when Detroit Tigers won long ago.
This is a nice welcome for me who is trying to settle down here
since I left Michigan two years ago.
