The Los Angeles Dodgers’ victory in Game 7 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays was nothing short of epic. That’s why, three months after the feat, the team decided to celebrate in a very particular way: by launching a line of fun bobbleheads.
The 2016 World Series was a rollercoaster of emotions. The teams traded wins until Game 5, which Toronto won 6-1 to take a seemingly insurmountable 3-2 lead.
The Dodgers won Game 6 on the road and then had to come from behind, trailing 4-2, to tie the game 4-4 in the ninth with a home run by Miguel Rojas and then clinched the 5-4 victory in the 11th, with a home run by Will Smith.
The victory gave the Dodgers back-to-back championships, and the front office didn’t want to miss the opportunity to celebrate the spectacular win, as well as honor the heroes of the game.
The line of bobbleheads celebrating the Dodgers’ victory
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), writer and Dodgers fan Blake Harris announced, “Dodgers have released several of their promotions for 2026, including a series of World Series Game 7 bobbleheads.”
Harris accompanied the message with images of four of the figures, starting with those of Rojas and Smith, captured in poses just after hitting the game-winning home runs.
The line also includes figures of infielder Mookie Betts, who turned a crucial double play, and the MVP and the pitcher who recorded the winning out, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
According to Harris, the team will continue to include figures from this line, including Tyler Glasnow, Freddie Freeman, Kyle Tucker, and, of course, Shohei Ohtani.
The Dodgers are going for a three-peat.
At the start of the 2025 season, the Dodgers seemed almost invincible. However, the Blue Jays exposed the cracks in the roster, and the front office immediately got to work.
In free agency, Los Angeles signed two of the most coveted players: outfielder Kyle Tucker and reliever Edwin Diaz, putting the rest of MLB on high alert.
With the regular season just under two months away, the Dodgers once again look like the team to beat. We’ll have to see if this leads to a new World Series and another line of commemorative bobbleheads.
