Series Treasures Headed to Hall
COOPERSTOWN—The Los Angeles Dodgers have added to their remarkable franchise history with their eighth World Series championship. Artifacts telling the story of their run to the title are on their way to the home of baseball in Cooperstown.
Following the Dodgers’ 7-6 victory on Wednesday, October 30, the team and players generously donated several artifacts that tell the story of their championship season, and those pieces will soon take a permanent place in Cooperstown.
Artifacts donated by the Dodgers following Game 5 in New York include:
- Spikes worn by World Series Most Valuable Player Freddie Freeman in Games 1 and 2
- Glove worn by Walker Buehler, the winning pitcher in Game 3, who also saved Game 5
- Cap worn by manager Dave Roberts
- Clayton Kershaw’s champagne-soaked “championship” cap
- Batting gloves worn by Mookie Betts, who hit .290 with 16 RBI in the postseason
- Jersey worn by reliever Anthony Banda, who made scoreless relief appearances in each of the Dodgers’ four World Series wins
- Cap and chest protector worn by catcher Will Smith, who caught the final strikeout of the World Series
- A ball used during the ninth inning of Game 5
- Max Muncy’s bat and batting gloves when he set a record by reaching base in 12 straight postseason games
- Batting helmet worn by NLCS Most Valuable Player Tommy Edman
These and other pieces from the 2024 Postseason will be featured in the “Autumn Glory” exhibit, which will be on display through the 2025 Postseason. Timing on the opening of the 2024 Postseason version of “Autumn Glory” will be announced in the coming weeks.
