Get-In Price For Game 7 Of World Series Is Absurd

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays will take the field Saturday night for what should be an epic finale to the 2025 World Series.

On Friday night, the Dodgers kept their season alive by defeating the Blue Jays in Game 6. They held onto their 3-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning despite a furious comeback attempt from the American League champions.

Blue Jays third baseman Addison Barger thought he potentially hit an inside-the-park home run in the ninth, but the ball actually got lodged at the bottom the left-center field wall. The umpires ruled it a dead ball. A few batters later, Andre Gimenez hit into a game-ending double play.

Toronto fans weren't happy with the call in the ninth inning, especially since Dodgers outfielder Justin Dean could've pulled the ball out. At the end of the day though, the umpires were following the MLB's rulebook.

“Per rule 5.05 (a) (7), a ball is considered lodged if, in the judgment of the umpire, the natural trajectory of the flight of the ball is interrupted long enough to affect further play. A batted ball that sticks in a fence, scoreboard, shrubbery or vines located on the playing field should be considered a lodged ball. Likewise, a ball that goes behind a field tarp or wall padding without leaving the playing field should also be considered to be lodged. Also, a lodged ball occurs anytime the momentum of a rolling ball is stopped abruptly and sticks or is stuck under the fence padding, shrubbery etc. Runners are awarded two bases when it is rules that the ball is lodged,” Baseball Rules Academy wrote. “How easily a ball might be retrieved by the fielder should not factor in the decision as to whether or not to declare a ball as lodged.”
