It was that kind of zany and historic night as the Dodgers outlasted the Blue Jays 6-5 in 18 innings – an instant World Series classic.

MLB Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax was present at the World Series Game 3 and 4 on Oct. 27 and 28. The former Los Angeles Dodger stayed for the entire 18-inning Game 3 on Oct. 27 before the Dodgers' Freddie Freeman ended it with a walk-off home run to center field, MLB writer Anthony Castrovince confirmed on X.

"We had, like, a whole game after I came out," Dodgers reliever Jack Dreyer said. "I had a steak at some point."

Game 3 of the World Series was a victory for the Dodgers, the companies that bought advertising slots, and Fox, which can charge more for ads during the next World Series. “Eighteen innings is a broadcaster’s dream and a brand visibility jackpot,” said Stacy Jones, CEO of the marketing agency Hollywood Branded.

Los Angeles Dodgers part owner Magic Johnson was thrilled that his team helped him add to his ring collection.

Former Iowa baseball alum Jack Dreyer made program history by appearing in a historic Game 3 of the 2025 MLB World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
