In their two previous World Series championship triumphs in 1992 and 1993, the Toronto Blue Jays won a dramatic Game 6 each time.

According to the Fox broadcast, Yamamoto is the first player to put together this kind of playoff complete game combo, including one in the World Series, since Tom Glavine in 1992. And he's the first Dodgers pitcher to win back-to-back playoff complete games since Orel Hershiser in 1988.

Nobody in the Blue Jays’ lineup for Game 5 of the World Series, an emphatic 6-1 thumping of the Dodgers, was alive in 1993.

With a three-hit performance in Game 7 of the World Series, Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement set a major league record with 30 hits in a single postseason

Before the 2025 Dodgers came along, it had been a quarter century since a team won consecutive World Series titles. Over that same span, the NFL saw two teams win two Super Bowls in a row, and four teams won at least two NBA Finals in a row.
