Either way, the Toronto Blue Jays or the Los Angeles Dodgers will be hoisting a trophy in the air and getting the biggest share of a cash bonus.

The thrilling World Series shows that baseball is truly back—just in time for its next crisis. Sportswriters have been penning baseball’s obituary for decades, claiming that America’s pastime is past its time. The game is too slow, too stodgy, too old, too boring, they said. The kids don’t care. But baseball is not dying. It’s thriving.

Jase Walker, a 7-8 year old from Maumelle, Arkansas, won the MLB Pitch Hit & Run competition at the World Series in Toronto, after winning a qualifying competition at Dickey-Stephens Park in June.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays prepare to face off in the World Series, this player will earn a ring no matter who wins.

There has been enough parity in baseball over the years that many of the game's all-time greats had a chance to win a World Series before their career came to an end, but not everyone was so lucky.

Shohei Ohtani could pitch out of the bullpen for the Los Angeles Dodgers when the World Series goes back to Toronto.
