The Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in 18 innings to take a 2-1 lead in the World Series.
Postseason baseball is known for its ups and downs, memorable moments and unlikely heroes. It just so happens that Game 3 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays had all of those things in one singular, 6-hour and 39-minute experience.
Most Angelenos experienced Freddie Freeman's 18th inning walk-off home run from the comfort of their own couch, but what was it like to endure the marathon from Chavez Ravine? CBS LA asked some Dodgers fans, and a couple of Blue Jays supporters, what it felt like inside Dodger Stadium on Monday night.What was the energy like inside the stadium?'The adrenaline, it was awesome. The Blue Jays were awesome too,' said a Dodger fan named Abdul. 'It was a good game … I'm drained, still with some energy but I'm drained.''We were here when Freddie hit the grand slam last year, and this is just as exciting — maybe more tiring because we are beat,' said one Dodgers fan.Did you consider leaving early?' we're sticking this out. You don't get to go to the World Series often. As fans, it's a gift to be able to go to a game like this,' said a Dodgers fan who attended the game with his father.Did the historic nature of the game set in?'There are several times that I stopped and looked at my friend and husband and just was like 'This is a part of history that people will talk about,'' said a lifelong Blue Jays fan who lives in Southern California. 'Jays in seven. See you guys Nov. 1.''It was so crazy that Will Klein, the greatest performance from the bullpen that I've seen,' a Dodgers fan said.Will you be back for Game 4 or Game 5?'We already saw a doubleheader,' said one fan who said he would not be at Tuesday's Game 4.'Up 2-1, we're going to take the momentum,' said one fan who said he'll be in attendance for Wednesday's Game 5. 'We're going to take Game 4 and Game 5. We're going to win for the first time in front of LA fans since 1963.'
