The Roger Centre, which had been roaring with around 44k until the 9th inning, suddenly fell silent in the 11th. Reason? Well, the Los Angeles Dodgers crashed Toronto’s dream of bringing back the Ring after 32 years. And the hero of the game? The Japanese sensation, no, it’s not Ohtani, it’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The arm that started Game 6 wrote the ending of the World Series in Game 7. The Game was so epic that across the baseball field, everyone watched and was thrilled!

Another World Series Game, another extra-innings saga. And this game had it all, from extra innings to benches getting cleared to the Dodgers winning the championship for the second consecutive time. The nail-biter started with Bo Bichette hitting a three-run home run off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning, giving Toronto a quick 3-0 lead.

The Blue Jays scored again to make it 4–2 in the late innings. But the Dodgers wouldn’t give in. In the top of the ninth, Miguel Rojas hit a solo home run to level the game at 4-4 and keep the title defense going. The drama continued through the 10th inning. And the excitement wasn’t just limited to the stadium and fans, but it was felt beyond the league. Stars like LeBron James, Katy Perry, Caitlin Clark, and many more came up to their social media handles to celebrate the epic encounter of World Series Game 7.

In the same period, veteran second baseman Rojas delivered a crucial defensive throw that stopped Toronto’s go-ahead run and kept the game going.

In the 11th inning, after both teams fought through the extra frame, Will Smith hit a solo home run off Shane Bieber to give the Dodgers the lead for the first time that night and keep it for good.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings of heroic relief, getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth and ending the 11th with the last out via a double play.

Dave Roberts, the manager, could hardly contain his happiness after the game. He called Yamamoto the “GOAT” when the trophy was given to the team. It was a well-deserved title: Yamamoto had been the best player all postseason, winning three games in the Series and proving he was the best player.

Stars React: LeBron, Clark & Co. celebrate the moment

Everyone was glued to their screens, including the NBA star LeBron James. He not only tweeted once but thrice!

His explosive “WOW!!!!!!” captured the raw emotion of witnessing history, followed by praise for the concept itself: “The 2 best words in sports. GAME SEVEN!!!! Wow what a game!!!” James understands championship pressure better than most, having delivered multiple Game 7 performances in the NBA Finals. And then his congratulations for the Boys in Blue, “CONGRATULATIONS @Dodgers !!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.”

The Game was so good that it even made the Cubs fans cheer. The WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark declared it “the best baseball game I’ve ever seen.” Those who follow her might know she is a hardcore Cubs fan who has regularly shown her support while they fought for their berth in the postseason. This World Series proved indeed it’s America’s favourite pastime!

The 76ers center’s “OH MY F GOD” perfectly encapsulated the visceral shock of how fast the momentum changed. Once, the Blue Jays were leading the game, but they lost momentum after Will Smith hit a homer, putting his team back in the fight!

The retired NFL star marvelled at the script-defying chaos: “You could not script the insanity of this game. This series. The stuff that’s happened, in the situations they’ve happened in. Just unbelievable.” From Rojas’ unlikely heroics to Yamamoto’s superhuman relief appearance to Smith’s clutch homer, the game layered coincidence upon impossibility until it became legendary.

The Mavericks superstar kept his reaction brief but enthusiastic: “What a game!! Wow, congrats @Dodgers.” Doncic’s international perspective is relevant – as a Slovenian who grew up playing basketball in Europe, his appreciation for American baseball speaks to the sport’s universal appeal during marquee moments. World Series Game 7 transcends cultural boundaries when executed at this level of drama.

The congratulations for the Boys in Blue weren’t stopping. James Harden also posted on X, “DODGERS! 💪🏾 @Dodgers.” The Clippers guard kept his message direct and powerful. His post reflected LA sports solidarity, where Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, and Rams players support each other’s championship pursuits.

The Bulls guard kept it simple yet profound: “What a series… back to back.” Caruso won a championship with the 2020 Lakers, so he recognizes the difficulty of repeating. The Dodgers did it this time and became the first clubhouse to win back-to-back World Series titles.

The tennis legend and part-owner of the Dodgers couldn’t hold back the praises. Billie Jean King took over her Instagram story and wrote, “The best game of baseball, I have ever seen. Congratulations to the Dodgers on an incredible season and on winning the World Series for the second year in a row. Dedication, excellence and culture. So proud of this organisation.”

Pop icon and LA celebrity; her tweet adds cultural pop-flavour. Katy Perry tweeted, “GO @Dodgers.” Simple. Short–basically her style.

The Reddit co-founder and sports investor just had one word reaction to the Finale Game. He posted, “Wow.” Well, it was a game that amazed everyone!

The Dodgers’ triumph wasn’t just about baseball supremacy – it was a cultural phenomenon that united the sports world in collective awe. From hardwood to gridiron to international stages, athletes recognized they’d witnessed something transcendent. The reactions weren’t obligatory; they were genuine expressions of respect for competitors who delivered when everything mattered most.
