Yes, it’s hard to say with authority, one day after, that a World Series is the best ever.

But you certainly can make that case about this one.

Dodgers #WorldSeries artifacts coming to the Hall of Fame:

🔹 Freddie Freeman's G3 bat
🔹 Will Klein's G3 glove
🔹 Base from 18-inning Game 3
🔹 Dave Roberts jersey
🔹 Mookie Betts final out glove
🔹 Will Smith’s G7 spikes
🔹 Yoshinobu Yamamoto's G7 cap
🔹 Andrew Friedman's championship celebration shirt
For the Dodgers, there are four victories to go. Four victories to meet the team's internal expectations - and, by the way, to put themselves in the history books as the first World Series repeat champion in a quarter century.

Would you bet against them?

Kings president Luc Robitaille's take on his team's chances of contending for a Cup: “I would say if there’s 10 teams in our league that have a shot at it, we’re one of them.”

And really, it's not that far-fetched. They just have to get past April and early May.

Alexander: Luc Robitaille assesses the state of the Kings
The best way to erase the bad taste of four straight first-round playoff knockouts is to win the Stanley Cup title, and the team president thinks they are contenders.

Leading off today's bucket o' notes: The Dodgers survived the Wild Card Series. The tough part begins Saturday in Philadelphia.

Also: Seattle Mariners vs. (former) Seattle Pilots? Maybe. Plus more commissioner's follies, in two sports. (Just two?)

Alexander: Does the Dodgers’ real postseason start now?
The National League Wild Card Series with the overmatched yet gritty Reds didn’t seem to have that playoff feel, but here come the Phillies.
