I was pleasantly surprised by the level of the players of Toronto, but the Dodgers are also a bunch of friends who can be sharp when they have to. I mean come on, two game deciding double plays in the last two games? Insanity!
What is left is the commentaries, clips and articles looking back on a historical World Series. Now, the media in the US go ape shit crazy about this kind of sports event, but over here in the Netherlands it’s all far away. Still… we get some articles in newspapers and online media. A selection:
De Telegraaf has a short article in the aptly named column “sports in short”. Nothing fancy, funny thing though... they write Will Smith has won 6 World Series in a row now. Not A Will Smith. but out own. lol!
Het Algemeen Dagblad also does the bare minimum:
NRC had a fairly long piece. It mainly zones in on the budget of the Dodgers organization. which seems to me, a very easy way to explain the success of recent years.
De Volkskrant comes with a 2 pager about the World Series win and in particular the importance of Ohtani amd his stature as probably the best, most versatile player ever.
Online sources brought us more articles and even some clips. I don’t think these websites can be viewed in the US so I’ll post some images of parts of the articles. The links are added as well, maybe they DO work.
First off an article on nu.nl:
Nos.nl had articles all throughout the World Series. The one about the Dodgers winning can be found here.
