In a historic move to honor one of the greatest games in modern MLB history, the Los Angeles Dodgers have officially approved a large-scale art project to recreate the decisive moments of Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, where the team clinched the championship after a breathtaking comeback victory against the Toronto Blue Jays.
According to internal club sources, the project will be located in the central area outside Dodger Stadium, intended to become a new highlight in the team’s “heritage corridor.” The artwork will honor three central figures of the game: Will Smith, Miguel Rojas, and Max Muncy—those who created the series of history-changing moments in Game 7.
Game 7 of the 2025 World Series has been called by many experts one of the most dramatic games in MLB history. The Dodgers were trailing by a significant margin, facing defeat with only a few outs away from the championship, before staging a spectacular comeback that lasted into overtime.
Therefore, the Dodgers’ leadership believes that erecting a statue is not only to honor the player, but also to “freeze time” for an iconic moment of never-give-up spirit.
Max Muncy – “The Starting Flame”
Max Muncy will be depicted in the moment of his home run in the inning of the 8th inning, the shot that narrowed the score to 4–3, opening up hope for the Dodgers when everything seemed lost.
According to the preliminary design, Muncy’s statue will depict a powerful swing, with a light behind him symbolizing the “first ray of hope” of the comeback.
Miguel Rojas – “The Moment of Salvation in History”
At the center of the monument, Miguel Rojas will be depicted in the moment of his home run that tied the game at 4–4 on the 9th inning, one of the most iconic shots in World Series Game 7 history.
Rojas’s statue is expected to be dynamic, mimicking the feeling of the ball flying off the court in the “silence before the explosion,” when the Dodgers were on the brink of elimination.
Will Smith – “The Fateful Shot”
The highest part of the statue cluster will be dedicated to Will Smith, who made the home run on the 11th inning, securing a 5–4 victory and leading the Dodgers to victory.
Smith’s statue will be placed on a raised platform, recreating the moment of his swing in brilliant light, symbolizing “the end of a living legend.”
According to the plan, the monument will be temporarily named:
“The Seventh Inning Legacy Monument”
The project will not only include statues of the three players but also integrate:
A lighting system recreating each inning of Game 7
A memorabilia exhibition area (bats, gloves, balls from the game)
A 360° screen recreating the entire final inning
A space commemorating the moments of the 2025 playoffs
A Dodgers official shared:
“This is not just a statue. This is our way of telling the story of a game that baseball will never repeat.”
As soon as the information spread, the Dodgers fan community erupted in enthusiastic debate. Many argued that erecting a statue is entirely justified, because Game 7 2025 has transcended the boundaries of sports to become a cultural icon.
Some other opinions suggest the project should include figures like Yoshinobu Yamamoto or Mookie Betts—who also made significant contributions to the game.
With this decision, the Dodgers continue to affirm their position not only as a successful team, but also as an organization that knows how to honor its own history.
Game 7 of the 2025 World Series is no longer just a game—it has become a story “framed” in metal, light, and memory.
And now, in Los Angeles, the names Will Smith, Miguel Rojas, and Max Muncy will forever stand together—as those who wrote one of the greatest chapters in Dodgers history.
