The Los Angeles Dodgers became baseball’s first repeat champions since 2000 after rallying from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings Saturday night in one of the most wild World Series Game 7s ever. The win at Rogers Centre marked the fourth time that a game lasted longer than eight innings in the series, and the first to end on a double play. The Dodgers won despite missing two of their top starters, and came away with the title after a series full of memorable moments.

In the first inning, Freddie Freeman ripped a three-run homer off Yoshinobu Yamamoto, which was the earliest any hitter has homered in a World Series game. Then, a few innings later, Smith drilled a 2-0 slider from Shane Bieber into the left field bullpen to tie the game and set up the potential winning run on base for Alejandro Kirk. Then, he grounded into a double play to preserve the victory.

Max Muncy and Miguel Rojas also hit solo homers to give the Dodgers a late lead, and the latter’s one-out effort off Jeff Hoffman was the first tying homer in the ninth or later of a World Series Game 7. But the biggest moment may have come from the most unassuming player on the field.

For much of the postseason, the highlight reel has revolved around two of the most popular and compelling players in baseball. Ohtani and Guerrero have starred in an epic rivalry that has helped define this era of the sport, and it was climaxed in Game 4 when the two two-way superstars squared off against each other for the first time as members of the same team.

Women and girls are still not given equal attention when they are seen participating in sports. This unequal attention can be internalized as discrimination and can cause female athletes to lose confidence and lower their expectations for future achievements. This is a big reason why tackling gender inequality in sports is so important.

Gender equality in sports is essential because it will make sure that everyone can benefit from the joy, fulfillment, and lifelong benefits that sports have to offer. It is also a way to break down barriers and prejudices that women face in society.

Although Title IX has helped women to become more successful in sports, there are still some issues that need to be addressed. This includes:

The first issue that needs to be addressed is the pay gap between male and female athletes. Currently, male players earn around forty times more money than their female counterparts. This is unfair because both women and men do the same work on the field, which means that they should receive the same amount of pay.

Another issue is the lack of women in sport governance and leadership positions. Women have been found to be more productive in organizations when they are included in decision-making processes. Therefore, it is important to increase the number of women in sport governance and management positions.

In order to achieve equality in sports, people need to change their perceptions and beliefs about gender roles. They should not rely on outdated stereotypes to determine whether an athlete is good or not. They should also start to recognize women for their athletic abilities and not just their personal lives. In addition, they should stop socializing women into gender norms at a young age and allow them to follow their own paths.
