The Milwaukee Brewers won it their way. A franchise that clinched a spot in the Postseason in eight of the past nine seasons. They won six division titles in that span and have won the NL Central the last four seasons. Their fan base is loyal to a fault and has seen many disappointing finishes with great teams in years past. That all went out the window in this Postseason as the Brewers had their first 100-win season that culminated in their first World Series title.

It has been 44 years since the Milwaukee Brewers made an appearance in the World Series. In 1982 they were in the American League and up until now it had been their only appearance in the Fall Classic. They lost that series in 7 games and have been clamoring to get another chance at winning a title. This will be the Tampa Bay Rays third appearance in the World Series. Their last opportunity came in 2020 when they lost that series in 6 games. Neither Milwaukee nor Tampa Bay has won a championship. The last time there was a matchup of two teams to have never won a World Series was in 1980. The Brewers got the sweep in the NLCS against the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the Rays were down 2-1 against Cleveland and won three consecutive games to clinch their spot. Both teams were at the top of the standings in their respective leagues and both of them have built their rosters without the power of the near-limitless spending that other franchises have done for many years. A first-time champion will be crowned.

If a World Series manages to go six or seven games, what inevitably follows is a debate about where the series ranks on people’s all-time list. The 2025 World Series will undoubtedly be on many’s for years to come and will be talked about throughout the upcoming offseason. The Los Angeles Dodgers were the favorites to win the World Series before the season started and they were the favorites to win before the series started against Toronto. In the end they certainly earned it.

It has been 32 years since the Toronto Blue Jays were last in the World Series. That was when Joe Carter hit a 3-run walk-off home run to win the series in Game 6. Toronto has come close in more recent seasons to get back to the Fall Classic, but this is the best they’ve been since that 1993 season. For the Los Angeles Dodgers they are attempting to repeat as World Series champions. They have never done so in their franchise’s history and the last time a team repeated as World Series champions were the New York Yankees from 1998-2000. One team has a stacked roster with future hall of famers and the other has a few standout players in the prime of their careers with a solid amount of depth across the board. One team swept their way into the World Series while the other had to claw their way back to a Game 7 victory to get in. This one should be interesting to say the least.
