Yankee Stadium, NY — From a pure fan perspective, this World Series has been a dud. Game 1 in Los Angeles was a classic, but Freddie Freeman’s walk-off grand slam crushed the hearts of Yankees fans and stole the thunder from the vaunted Bronx Bombers bats.

World Series Brings Highest Viewership Since 2017 

 

Two games later and the LA Dodgers, MLBbro manager Dave Roberts and star player Mookie Betts are on the verge of winning the franchise’s second World Series since 2020. It’s the matchup everyone wanted and despite the one-sided results, the series is averaging 14.55 million viewers, the best numbers since 2017.

As far as the MLBbros are concerned, it was a win-win situation. There’s a combined seven MLBbros on World Series rosters this season. The Yankees have five with Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Jazz Chisholm, Trent Grisham and Stro Show. The LA Dodgers have Mookie Betts, ace Black Jack Flaherty and Roberts is leading the way. It’s been years since we have had that kind of melanated representation.

Giancarlo Stanton has six homers in 12 games this postseason as Aaron Judge has suffered through a treacherous stretch that laid waste to his dreams of leading the Yankees to the promised land this season. But Playoff Stanton’s been front and center. According to former WFAN radio legend and avid Yankees fan Mike Francesca, appearing on Mad Dog Russo’s radio show, Stanton has already solidified his Hall of Fame status with 429 career homers and 17 more in the postseason.

 

 

Jazz Chisholm is batting .167 in these playoffs, but he is getting his first taste of NY Yankees playoff life. If he sticks around, he will be competing for something every season and will get his chance to shine on the big stage.

 

Dave Roberts & Mookie Betts Building MLBbro Hall of Fame Legacies

 

Dave Roberts and Mookie Betts’ legacies will benefit most by closing out the NY Yankees sooner rather than later.

 

Roberts will become the second Black manager in history to win two World Series titles, joining Cito Gaston. Mookie Betts will win his third World Series title and second since Boston discarded him after he won an MVP and brought them a championship.

 

 

Mookie is batting .291 with four homers and 14 RBI in these playoffs. He’s been typically sensational with the glove and could win World Series MVP. He surely would deserve team MVP for the way he held down the shortstop position, graciously accepted Shohei Ohtani into the fold, even if his own popularity suffered, returned from his wrist injury and proceeded to be the MVP caliber leader he’s always been.

 

 

Boston hasn’t come close to a World Series since Mookie was shipped out after the 2019 season. The LA Dodgers have been perennial contenders, and it appears as if they are going to breakthrough with another title. Now we can stop all of the discussion about whether or not Dave Roberts is the guy to lead the Dodgers. All he does is win.

Everyone knows the LA Dodgers would rather close out the World Series back home in Game 6 in front of the fans. Major League Baseball probably wants that scenario as well. The entire Yankees organization wants to avoid a sweep at this point and Aaron Judge probably wants to extend the series as long as he can to get more chances to redeem himself.

MLBbros Will Make More Noise Before World Series Ends

 

There’s still much at stake for all the MLBbros. Will Marcus Stroman get a chance to make an appearance? The usually raucous Yankee Stadium crowd didn’t have much to get excited about before Alex Verdugo hit a two-run blast late that gave the pinstripes some hope to avoid a sweep in Game 4.

 

Regardless of how this shakes out, the MLBbros are continuing to edge their names in the history of baseball, among the elite to ever do it at their position. Shohei Ohtani’s presence on the LA Dodgers and his impact on MLB and his 54-59 season definitely helped elevate the media hype surrounding the team. He will walk away with his third MVP award this year (won in 2021 and 2023 with LA Angles) and join the legendary MLBbro Frank Robinson as the only players to win MVP in both leagues.
