   Congratulating the Los Angeles Dodgers for winning the 2025 Major 
                     League Baseball World Series.

Whereas, on November 1, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers (referred to in this 
        preamble as the ``Dodgers'') defeated the American League Champions, the 
        Toronto Blue Jays, by a score of 5 to 4 to win the 2025 Major League 
        Baseball World Series in seven games;
Whereas this marks the ninth World Series championship for the Dodgers 
        franchise, cementing a dynasty by winning 3 titles in the last six 
        years, and their eighth title since arriving in Los Angeles in 1958;
Whereas, during the 2025 playoffs, the Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds, the 
        Philadelphia Phillies, and the Milwaukee Brewers, before defeating the 
        Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series;
Whereas the Dodgers have won the National League West Division in 12 of the last 
        13 seasons;
Whereas the Dodgers' opponents in the 2025 World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays, 
        demonstrated true sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect for the game;
Whereas every member of the 2025 Dodgers roster, one of the most diverse in 
        Major League Baseball with players from 6 countries, played a key part 
        in winning back-to-back World Series for the first time in 25 years;
Whereas Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto was named Most Valuable Player for 
        the 2025 World Series after he went 3-0 with a 1.02 earned run average, 
        threw a complete game in Game 2, and induced the series winning double 
        play in extra innings in Game 7 while pitching in consecutive games with 
        no days rest;
Whereas the reigning National League Most Valuable Player Shohei Ohtani played a 
        starring role in the 2025 season for the Dodgers, and was named Most 
        Valuable Player for the 2025 National League Championship Series 
        following his two-way performance of throwing 10 strikeouts and hitting 
        3 home runs in Game 4;
Whereas Dodgers catcher Will Smith recorded the most innings as a catcher in 
        World Series history and hit the game and series winning homerun in Game 
        7;
Whereas Miguel Rojas hit a game-tying homerun with 1 out in the top of the ninth 
        inning of Game 7 and made numerous significant defensive contributions 
        throughout the series;
Whereas Dodgers manager Dave Roberts recorded his third World Series 
        Championship since joining the organization in 2016;
Whereas the Dodgers overcame a three-run deficit to win 5 to 4 in extra innings 
        in Game 7 of the World Series;
Whereas the Dodgers are an immense source of pride for the city of Los Angeles 
        and Dodgers Nation; and
Whereas the Dodgers secured a victory for the United States against Canada's 
        Toronto Blue Jays in America's national pastime: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) congratulates the Los Angeles Dodgers for winning the 
        2025 Major League Baseball World Series;
            (2) celebrates the dedication and teamwork of the players 
        and staff who made this historic season possible; and
            (3) respectfully directs the Secretary of the Senate to 
        transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to--
                    (A) the chairman and controlling owner of the Los 
                Angeles Dodgers, Mark Walter;
                    (B) the president of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Stan 
                Kasten; and
                    (C) the manager of the 2025 Los Angeles Dodgers, 
                Dave Roberts.
