The Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in six games to win the franchise’s first Series title in 32 years.
Among the items donated by the team are: the ball used by Clayton Kershaw for the opening pitch of Game 1 in the first neutral-site World Series in history; a bat used by World Series MVP Corey Seager in Game 6; and a road jersey worn by Mookie Betts in Games 3, 4 and 5. Other items are Max Muncy’s batting helmet and manager Dave Roberts’ jacket and face mask worn throughout the Series played during the coronavirus pandemic.

LOS ANGELES While the Dodgers made a smattering of minor announcements on Friday, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman also discussed the highest of his priorities: repeating as World Series champions.
The 32-year World Series drought the Dodgers ended in October is nothing compared to what a 2021 title would mean. A repeat championship never has happened in franchise history. But Friedman has tapped into the champion of all repeat champions to provide the team theme for next season.
“There’s a great John Wooden quote on it, ‘Winning takes talent, but repeating takes character,’” said Friedman, drawing from the legendary UCLA coach of 10 NCAA men’s basketball titles, seven of them consecutively.
