Dodgers Up (3-0) In A Bid For Their First Full Season Title in 36 years

The Dodgers, playing on the 43rd anniversary of their game 6 clincher at Yankee Stadium the last time they faced the Yankees in the W.S. , won there (at least, say around 167th St. a bit north of 161st where they won in ’81, but face it, lost so many times) last night and tonight will bid for their second World Series sweep, that attained in 1963,also vs the Yankees.

Freddie Freeman, the game 1 hero and very likely series MVP, “set the tone” in #3 with a 1 out 2 run home run off losing pitcher Clarke Schmidt (he has two Philly names Clarke as in the Flyers’ Bobby and a surname the same as the Phils’ Mike), while Walker Buehler hurled 5 shutout innings and got the win.

Mookie Betts, who also tuned in the third Dodgers’ run, T3 with a bloop single, and T.Hernandez made big defensive plays for L.A.

Freeman who homered in the last two games of the 2021 World Series (his Braves lost another in a long line of Sunday post-season tilts, failing to clinch at home in #5 but won at Houston to “title” in #6) tied George Springer of Houston, now with Toronto, (if only as with hockey ‘they’ would allow Canada), who also HR’d in 5 straight Series tilts, (#’s (4-7) vs L.A. a series Houston won at L.A. in #7 (Springer MVP) and the opener vs eventual winner, of the all road teams, ’19 World Series, Washington (Nationals).
