It was a historic night for the Los Angeles Dodgers, as shortstop Corey Seager was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2020 World Series. Seager is just the fourth Dodger to win the award, joining legendary pitchers Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Reggie Jackson.
Seager had an incredible World Series, hitting .400 with two home runs and eight RBIs. He was a key part of the Dodgers’ offense, helping them to their first championship since 1988. His performance was even more impressive considering he was playing with a torn labrum in his left hip.
The 24-year-old Seager has been a star for the Dodgers since he was called up in 2015. He was named National League Rookie of the Year that season and has been an All-Star in each of the past three seasons. He was also named National League MVP in 2016.
Seager joins an elite group of Dodgers to win the World Series MVP award. Koufax won it in 1963 and 1965, Gibson in 1964 and Jackson in 1977. All four players are members of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
The Dodgers’ championship is a testament to their organization’s commitment to building a winning team. They have been one of the most consistent teams in baseball over the past decade, making the playoffs in each of the last eight seasons.
Seager’s performance in the World Series was a fitting end to a remarkable season for the Dodgers. He has cemented his place among the all-time greats in Dodger history, and his name will now be mentioned alongside Koufax, Gibson and Jackson.
