Twitter reacts to Dodgers reaching World Series again

The Los Angeles Dodgers reached the World Series for the second straight year following a 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 7 of the NLCS on Saturday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts brought closer Kenley Jansen into the game in the 7th inning and had him go four outs. He then brought ace Clayton Kershaw in for the ninth, and the southpaw retired the side in order to send the Dodgers to the World Series.

Cody Bellinger’s 2-run home run and Yasiel Puig’s 3-run home run provided the offense, while Chris Taylor made a spectacular catch to save runs in the fifth inning.

The Dodgers opened the season 16-26. It was their worst start since they moved to Los Angeles in 1958.

Now look at them: The Dodgers will make their first back-to-back World Series appearances since 1977-78.

Folks were particularly excited to see the Red Sox and Dodgers squaring off.

The last time the Dodgers played the Red Sox in the World Series, the Dodgers had a 25 year old outfielder named Casey Stengel, and the Red Sox had a 21 year old pitcher named Babe Ruth.
