When the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 1988, their Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully coined it an improbable year. If 1988 was improbable, then 2020 was inevitable, serving as a coronation for the team with the best record in baseball from 2017 to 2020.
Along the way to their seventh World Series title, there were plenty of moments that symbolize the greatness that encompassed the Dodgers 2020 season.
The Dodgers cruised through the season collecting a .717 win percentage, second-best in the National League in the World Series era. The Dodgers scored the most runs in baseball and gave up the fewest runs. Dodgers batters hit the most home runs (118) and their pitching staff had the best ERA (3.02). All spelled out that the Dodgers were one of the best teams in baseball history.
Now that the dust has settled, it’s safe to say these are the top five moments of the Dodgers’ 2020 season.
