pennant

When the Dodgers won the National League pennant last week, their on-field celebration hardly looked any different than normal.

And they hadn’t won a pennant in nearly three decades.

By the time the final out had been recorded, the fact that the Dodgers had clinched yet another pennant was practically an afterthought.

The rotation has been untouchable, propelling the Dodgers to the verge of their second consecutive pennant.
