The Dodgers’ victory over the New York Yankees in Game 7 was a defining moment for the team and its fans, marking the culmination of years of perseverance and dedication.

Johnny Podres: The Hero of Game 7

Among the treasures in this collection is a page signed by none other than Dodgers pitcher Johnny Podres.
