The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays made history with their 18-inning marathon in Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, tying the record for longest Fall Classic game.
Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th won it for the Dodgers in what should go down as an instant classic. It equaled the record 18-inning game in 2018, when the Dodgers beat the Boston Red Sox on Max Muncy’s home run in the 18th – of Game 3 – right here at Dodger Stadium.
Prior to the 2018 record-setting affair, the longest World Series game was 14 innings, which happened in 1916, 2005 and 2015.
Here’s a look at the only games in World Series history to crack 14 innings:
