Forget the asterisks. The Dodgers were the clutchest team in the clutchest season

These fellows adapted to the strangest MLB season ever, and were tremendous.

Congratulations to the 2020 LA Dodgers!

Agreed. No asterisk. Every team played under the same conditions. brush Oct 2020 #4

I don't think of it as baseball-specific; it applies to any sport.

Seriously. The 2015 Mets had no right beating them in a division series - just completely out of this world play by Daniel Murphy. Result: Loss NLDS

The 2016 Cubs were always going to win, but the Dodgers gave them a bit of a go in the NLCS. Result: Loss NLCS

The 2017 Astros were shit, and that's all I'm going to say about that (bang bang). Result: Loss World Series

2018 was a toss up. Result: Loss, World Series.

Nationals came in hot as fuck in 2019. Result: Loss NLDS.

So, NLDS, NLCS, World Series, World Series, NLDS, World Series.

They're the team of the decade in some ways.

Well deserved!
