Was the 2025 World Series the best in baseball history? Was Game 7 on Saturday night the greatest single game in postseason annals?
No matter the answers — and arguments can certainly be made in the affirmative, even if you’re presenting contenders from 1975, 1986 or 2016 — the Dodgers’ 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays in 11 innings will certainly take a lofty place in the history of the game.
So, there’s no doubt Los Angeles’ dramatic comeback win to become the first back-to-back champion in a quarter-century should be commemorated through collectible artifacts.
In the aftermath Sunday, several items were sent straight to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, while others are headed to the auction block.
Early Sunday, the Hall announced it would be taking in several items on loan from the Dodgers, including the cleats catcher Will Smith was wearing when he hit the game-winning home run in the 11th inning, the glove Mookie Betts used when he turned the game-ending double play and the cap worn by World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto as he pitched 2.2 innings of stellar relief one day after winning Game 6.
These @Dodgers artifacts will be part of baseball history forever at the Hall of Fame:

Other key relics from Game 7 are available for collectors to bid on in official MLB auctions and certified by baseball's authentication program.
The ball from the critical out at home in the bottom of the ninth, when Dodgers second baseman Miguel Rojas just barely forced out Toronto's Isiah Kiner-Falefa at the plate, has already topped $18,000 with more than a week left in the auction.
The first-base bag, which Freddie Freeman tagged for the game's final out and was used from the seventh to 11th innings, has topped $48,000 in bidding already, with a week left in the auction.
Also up for bid are a game-used ball from Shohei Ohtani's Game 4 strikeout of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (currently above $65,000 in bidding) and the first-base bag used in the final 11 innings of the Dodgers' epic 18-inning victory in Game 3 (bidding nearing $46,000).
On the more economical side of things, Topps NOW is offering a Dodgers championship set and several limited-print runs of moments from Game 7, including the chase for a 1/1 triple auto card featuring Yamamoto, Ohtani and Roki Sasaki.
