Teams don’t win championships with a single play, nor are championships won in a single game. Championships are won across entire seasons, with teams working together and stringing together moments to work towards a singular goal.
In 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought plenty of these moments, with each bringing them ever closer to their second consecutive World Series title.

Dodgers Nation went through every major moment of the Dodgers’ year for this Top 10 highlights list, and we finally decided on an order for our list after several days of debate.
1. Dodgers’ Game 7 World Series Win
2. Freddie Freeman’s Walk-Off Home Run in Game 3 of World Series
3. Kiké Hernández, Miguel Rojas World Series Game 6 Double Play
4. Shohei Ohtani’s Historic NLCS Game 4 Performance
5. Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s Complete Game in Game 2 of World Series
6. Clayton Kershaw Eclipses 3,000 Career Strikeouts
7. Shohei Ohtani Makes LA Pitching Debut vs Padres
8. Clayton Kershaw’s Farewell Season
9. Roki Sasaki Chooses to Sign With LA
10. Shohei Ohtani Walk-Off on His Bobblehead Night
These moments all made their mark for the Dodgers in 2025, even if they didn’t directly correlate to another tally in the wins column. The Dodgers’ postseason fireworks were unforgettable, but recognizing Clayton Kershaw, who brought in this era of Dodgers dominance, is just as important.

The Dodgers have now won the last two World Series, and will surely look to bring a three-peat to LA to make themselves the third MLB franchise to accomplish such a feat. To do so, though, they’ll have to make big moments at the perfect time, just as they did in 2025.
With a year as memorable as 2025, though, there were far more than 10 moments we had to consider for the list. What was your favorite moment of the year? Did we miss any big ones on our list? How would you have ordered things differently?
