Who Won The Baseball World Series 2021?

The Tampa Bay Rays won the baseball world series in 2021.

The Teams

There were two teams in the playoffs vying for the title of world champions, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rays had a great season and were the favorites to win, but the Dodgers had other plans. In the end, the Dodgers won the series in six games.

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers are an American professional baseball team based in Los Angeles, California. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) West division. Established in 1883 in Brooklyn, New York, the team moved to Los Angeles before the 1958 season. They played for four seasons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum before moving to Dodger Stadium, their current home stadium, in 1962.

The Dodgers formed as the Brooklyn Atlantics, taking the name of a defunct team that had played in Brooklyn before them. The team qualified for the playoffs three times in a row from 2013 to 2015 and won the National League West each time. They made their second consecutive World Series appearance in 2016, losing to the Chicago Cubs in seven games (after leading the series 3–1). In 2017 and 2018, they lost the National League Championship Series to the Houston Astros and Milwaukee Brewers respectively. The Dodgers returned to and won their seventh World Series title against the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020.          

Theorigin of “Dodgers” is attributed to childhood friends who played Stickball together as young boys growing up near 5th Avenue & 3rd Street within Greenwich Village during late 19th century Brooklyn . When crowd control was at times needed during local parades or even following police actions, one child would shout “Let’s go Dodgers!” People passing by could then follow suit while controlling themselves or their charges accordingly.

Tampa Bay Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays are an American professional baseball team based in St. Petersburg, Florida. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member of the American League (AL) East division. Since its inception, the team’s home venue has been Tropicana Field.

But what will be the legacy of this World Series? What will people remember most about it?

For starters, it was a series that featured two of the best teams in baseball. The Dodgers were the best team in the regular season, while the Rays were perhaps the hottest team in baseball, winning 23 of their final 30 games.

Secondly, this was a series that had everything – great pitching duels, thrilling comebacks, dramatic home runs, and even a benches-clearing brawl. In short, it had everything a baseball fan could want.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this was a series that ended an epic drought for the Dodgers. After coming up just short in previous years, they finally got over the hump and won it all. For a franchise with such a rich history, that is something that will be remembered for generations to come.
