The phrase "Game 7" is often labeled as the best two words in sports. And last season for the Dodgers, it's hard to argue otherwise.
Los Angeles trailed the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 entering the eighth inning, before going on a magical run filled with home runs, great defensive plays and the pitching performance of a lifetime to win 5-4 in extra innings and win the team's second consecutive World Series.
Now, the Dodgers are sharing relics of that historic comeback with fans. The team announced Monday this upcoming 2026 season would feature a Game 7 Bobblehead Series. There will be four different bobbleheads in the series, each depicting one of the game-changing plays in the team's Game 7 comeback.
The first will come on Saturday, March 28 vs the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team's third game of the season and first weekend game. It will be Will Smith bobblehead night. Smith hit the go-ahead home run in 11th inning of Game 7.
The second bobblehead in the series features Miguel Rojas, who became the first player in MLB history to hit a game-tying home run in the 9th inning or later of a World Series Game 7. This bobblehead will be featured on Friday, May 8 vs the Atlanta Braves.
The third bobblehead, and perhaps the most important of the three, is the Yoshinobu Yamamoto "Game 7 Last Out" Bobblehead on Wednesday, May 27 vs the Colorado Rockies. Yamamoto provided a Herculean effort in Game 7, pitching 2.2 innings of shutout baseball on zero days rest, having just dominated Game 6. It put an exclamation point on what was already one of the most dominant World Series runs by any pitcher in history.
The final bobblehead in the series comes on Friday, June 19 vs the Baltimore Orioles, showcasing the final out of the game. Mookie Betts, who spent a decade as a perennial Gold Glove outfielder, shifted to play shortstop for the Dodgers due to team injuries and has now made the position home.
He made the final play of the World Series, producing an unassisted 6-3 double play to end the game and the series.
While these four bobbleheads certainly make up quite the showcase, the Dodgers have a staggering 24 bobblehead nights this season, despite leading the league every year in attendance since 2013.
Individual game tickets go on sale to the public on Thursday, February 12 at 1 PM ET.
