World Series 2020: The oddest of World Series ends with the most 2020 moment of the season ARLINGTON, Texas -- In this oddest of years, this most peculiar of baseball seasons, there was perhaps no more telling snapshot of the United States, circa 2020, than a COVID-19-positive man sitting on the ground, maskless, next to a cancer survivor, maskless as well, with indelible grins spread across their faces. Sports is and always will be a metaphor for society. The  Los Angeles Dodgers  won the World Series on Tuesday night, and in the moments after, the world learned that  Justin Turner , the team's third baseman and pulse of the clubhouse, had contracted the coronavirus. Turner was asked to isolate. He did not abide. He strode onto the field, where his teammates were celebrating their  3-1 victory  over the  Tampa Bay Rays  in Game 6, and joined.

Dodgers star Justin Turner tests positive for Covid, pulled from World Series win Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner tested positive for coronavirus and was pulled from the  World Series-clinching game Tuesday . Turner was mysteriously taken out of the game after seven innings and wasn't on the diamond at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, as his teammates hugged and jumped for joy immediately after the Game 6 victory. Shortly after the final out, it was revealed that the 35-year-old Southern California native Turner had tested  positive for Covid-19 . "We learned during the game that Justin was a positive," MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said. "He was immediately isolated to prevent spread." Thanks to everyone reaching out!

So proud of this team & unbelievably happy for the City of LA #Worl...

The Latest: Arozarena strikes again, gives Rays 1-0 lead ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Latest on Game 6 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays (all times local): Randy Arozarena extended his postseason record with his 10th home run and Blake Snell struck out the side as the Tampa Bay Rays took a 1-0 lead after the first inning in Game 6 of the World Series, when a win by the Los Angeles Dodgers would give them their first title since 1988. It was Arozarena’s third homer in the World Series, the first time a rookie has hit three in the Series since Charlie Keller did it for the New York Yankees in 1939. Arozarena became the first rookie to drive in a run in four consecutive Series games. Arozarena went the opposite way in the top of the first, homering to right off rookie right-hander Tony Gonsolin with one out. Austin Meadows then hit a hard single and Brandon Lowe, who homered off Gonsolin in Game 2, walked before Manuel Margot had a flyout and Joey Wendl...
