The best words in sports are Game 7, and tonight’s World Series winner-take-all featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays could be one of the best.
The Dodgers, making their eighth World Series Game 7 appearance, are attempting to become the first team since 2000 to repeat as champions. The New York Yankees were the last to accomplish the feat, finishing off their three-peat with a five-game domination of the Mets in the Subway Series.
Overall, there have been 40 Game 7s in World Series history, including a rare Game 8 in 1912 because of a tie in the second game of the series.
Here are the results of every World Series Game 7 in Major League Baseball’s history:
