Journeyman Ballplayers Reap Rewards of Dodgers' 2025 Championship

On November 2, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers emerged victorious in the World Series, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays in a decisive Game 7. While the Dodgers' star players will undoubtedly receive the bulk of the praise and recognition for this championship, the team's lesser-known members have also been rewarded for their efforts.

In keeping with baseball tradition, any player who suited up for the Dodgers at any point during the 2025 season will receive a coveted World Series championship ring, regardless of their actual contributions. This includes five obscure players who made minimal impacts on the team's success.

These players, such as utility infielder Zach Kennedy and journeyman pitcher Ureña, found themselves on the Dodgers' roster for brief stints, either due to injuries or roster shuffling. Despite their limited playing time and underwhelming performances, they will now be able to call themselves World Series champions for the rest of their lives.

The Dodgers' championship run has provided an unexpected opportunity for these lesser-known players to bask in the glory of a title, a testament to the inclusive nature of professional baseball. While the team's stars will undoubtedly receive the lion's share of the attention, these five forgotten players have also earned their place in Dodgers history.
