On Top of the World: The Los Angeles Dodgers' Extraordinary Run to the 2024 World Series Title

2024

Synopsis

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered 2024 with their sights set on a November parade. For the star-studded roster, winning the World Series was more than just a goal; it was the only choice.

Following a blockbuster offseason that featured the record-breaking signing of Shohei Ohtani, the Boys in Blue set forth on their path to championship glory. While there were memorable highlights along the way, such as Ohtani's historic 50-50 milestone and All-Star Teoscar Hernandez's Home Run Derby win, the team also battled through setbacks in the form of numerous injuries to what should have been an unshakeable pitching staff.

On Top of the World chronicles this extraordinary journey through expert reporting from the Los Angeles Daily News and dozens of dynamic photos. Relive thrilling postseason performances against the rival San Diego Padres and the New York Mets, Freddie Freeman's unforgettable walk-off grand slam that kicked off the Fall Classic and the moment of euphoria after defeating the powerhouse New York Yankees to win it all. This commemorative book also includes feature stories on popular figures like Ohtani, Freeman, Hernandez, Mookie Betts, Fernando Valenzuela and more.
