The 'World Series MVPs' quiz

The Toronto Blue Jays pushed the Los Angeles Dodgers as far as they possibly could, taking Game 7 of the World Series to the 11th inning. But unfortunately for them, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a Dodger. 

Yamamoto was credited with three of the Dodgers four wins to repeat as World Series champions, throwing a complete game in Game 2 and six innings of one-run ball in Game 6 to help force Game 7. In Game 7 – the day after throwing 96 pitches – Yamamoto gave the Dodgers another 2.2  scoreless innings to secure the title and World Series MVP honors

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Yamamoto’s final line in the 2025 World Series was 3-0 with a 1.02 ERA and 15 strikeouts to just two walks in 17.2 innings to become the first pitcher to win World Series MVP since 2019. With that being said, can you name every World Series MVP?

Good luck!
