Phillies thoughts as we watched the best World Series game ever
Dodgers-Blue Jays was as great of a baseball game as I have ever watched.

Sometimes we throw superlatives out too willy nilly.
That can’t be said for the end of the 2025 World Series.
Game 7 (plus the end of Game 6) of Dodgers-Blue Jays was the best sports has to offer. Strategy, execution, players leaving every ounce of their spirit and body on the field, all-time greats, and millions of fans hanging on every pitch.
It was—along with 1991 Game 7, 1997 Game 7, 2001 Game 4/5/7, 2011 Game 6, 2016 Game 7, 2017 Game 5, 2022 Game 1, 2023 Game 1—among the 10 best World Series that I can remember watching. Considering the stakes, back-and-forth moments, and individual performances, I’d rank it No. 1. If that’s recency bias, so be it.
The game, outcome and performances also had me thinking about the Phillies—what was, what is, and what needs to be as they try to reach the pinnacle that the Dodgers reside on again.
