Overview
- Game 3 in Los Angeles went 18 innings before Freddie Freeman’s walk-off gave the Dodgers a 6-5 win over the Blue Jays, tying the World Series record for longest game.
- All four World Series games preceded by a Paisley anthem have gone to extras — 2017 (11 innings), 2018 (18), 2024 (10) and 2025 (18) — with both 18-inning epics occurring at Dodger Stadium.
- The Dodgers are 3–1 in those games, including walk-off home runs by Max Muncy in 2018 and Freeman in both 2024 and 2025.
- Monday’s marathon featured extreme usage — roughly 609 pitches, 19 total pitchers and a Dodgers single-team World Series record of 10 pitchers — intensifying bullpen management considerations for the series.
- After the latest thriller, the longtime Dodgers fan told the Associated Press he’s embracing the trend and calls himself 'Mr. More Baseball'.
