More news: Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas announces he will miss the World Baseball Classic due to insurance issues
Friedman revealed how intense the emotions were for him during the 18-inning game during an appearance at Dodgers Territory.
“I mean, it was a very intense series. Everyone keeps talking about how great it was, and I’m sure it was for a lot of people. There were moments where I had to take a step back and remember to breathe,” Friedman said.
“One thing I’m not very proud of is whether or not I touched a barstool in that Game 3 and that’s just the range of emotions. Will Smith hits a ball to center, which is definitely a home run in my eyes. And Varsho goes back and catches it.”
How long did Dodgers vs. Blue Jays World Series Game 3?
Chaos between the Dodgers and Blue Jays ensued at Dodger Stadium for a total of six hours and 39 minutes. The 18-inning thriller tied for the longest game per inning in World Series history.
There was no shortage of entertainment in the epic game as Freddie Freeman called the game home in the bottom of the 18th with a walk-off home run. Shohei Ohtani had a great performance, going 2-for-4 with two home runs, two doubles and five walks. He reached base a total of nine times.
Clayton Kershaw made his 2025 World Series debut in Game 3, escaping a bases-loading jam in the 12th frame to keep the game tied. It was the future Hall of Famer’s only appearance in the Fall Classic, and he made it count.
Dodgers reliever Will Klein emerged as the team’s unlikely hero as he pitched four scoreless innings. He was LA’s last available reliever and allowed just one hit and earned the win.
It’s no wonder Friedman almost threw out a bar stool, considering everything that happened in World Series Game 3. If it wasn’t already clear, the Dodgers front office is just as passionate about the team as the fans are.
