Following the win, Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw reflected on the intensity of the series against the Blue Jays. When Dodgers teammate Mookie Betts asked Kershaw if it was the toughest series he's ever been in, Kershaw mentioned the 2017 World Series with a subtle dig at the Houston Astros.

"I've been to another seven-game World Series and we lost that one, well, there's an asterisk over that one," Kershaw said on Betts' podcast.

Houston Texans podcaster Paul Gallant fired back at the Dodgers legend by highlighting his postseason record.

"If only there was an asterisk for his 13-13 4.65 ERA postseason record," Gallant wrote on X.

Kershaw was the starting pitcher in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series against the Astros. The Dodgers lost the game 5-1, losing the series 4-3 against Houston.

However, the Astros were found guilty of sign-stealing during the season, raising questions over the legitimacy of their World Series win for many.

Dodgers fans booed Blue Jays slugger George Springer for his role in the Astros' World Series win in 2017

Veteran Blue Jays slugger George Springer, who was part of the Astros' World Series-winning team in 2017, was booed relentlessly by the Dodgers fans during the recently concluded Fall Classic.

Springer was named the World Series MVP for his heroics against the Dodgers in 2017. While the Blue Jays slugger played a crucial role in Toronto's run through to the World Series this year, he failed to replicate the success from 2017, losing the Fall Classic after a heartbreaking loss in Game 7 at Rogers Centre.

Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw walks into retirement after winning his third World Series ring with the Dodgers, capping off his legendary career on a high note.
