Artifacts from Dodgers’ Ninth Title Headed for ‘Autumn Glory’

COOPERSTOWN—The Los Angeles Dodgers have added to their remarkable franchise history with their ninth World Series championship, and artifacts telling the story of their run to the title are on their way to the home of baseball in Cooperstown.

Following the Dodgers’ 5-4 victory, the team and players generously donated several artifacts that tell the story of their championship season, and those pieces will soon take a permanent place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Artifacts donated by the Dodgers following Game 7 in Toronto include: 

• Cap worn by World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 7
• Glove worn by Mookie Betts, who turned the series-ending double play after converting to shortstop
• Bat used by Freddie Freeman in Game 3 when he hit the game-ending home run
• A base used during Game 3, which at 18 innings tied for the longest game in Postseason history
• Glove worn by Will Klein, who earned the victory in Game 3 with four scoreless innings in relief
• Spikes worn by Will Smith when he hit the go-ahead home run in the final inning of Game 7
• Jersey worn by manager Dave Roberts
• Championship celebration shirt worn by Andrew Friedman

Additional artifacts from the 2025 Postseason donated to the Hall of Fame include:

• The spikes worn by the Blue Jays’ Addison Barger in Game 1, when he produced the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history
• A ball thrown by the Blue Jays’ Max Scherzer in Game 3, when he became the first player to pitch for four different teams in the World Series
• Ball/strike indicator used by Alan Porter, the home plate umpire in both Game 5 of the World Series and the October 10 American League Division Series finale between the Mariners and Tigers, which lasted 15 innings

These and other pieces from the 2025 Postseason will be featured in the “Autumn Glory” exhibit, which will be on display through the 2026 Postseason. Timing on the opening of the 2025 Postseason version of “Autumn Glory” will be announced in the coming weeks, officials said in a press release.
