The Los Angeles Dodgers' 2025 World Series title was one for the ages, and a former NFL quarterback, Derek Carr, possesses an integral piece of that story. Carr, a lifelong Dodgers fan, acquired the second base bag from Game 6 of the 2025 World Series, where the Dodgers clinched their championship. The bag now holds a prominent place in the office of Carr and his brother, fellow NFL QB David Carr.

Why it matters

The 2025 World Series was a historic moment for the Dodgers franchise, and having the actual base from the clinching game adds significant memorabilia value and personal connection for Carr as a devoted fan. Owning such an iconic piece of sports history is a unique opportunity for the former NFL player.

The details

In Game 6 of the 2025 World Series, the Dodgers secured the win with a double play at second base, as outfielder Kike Hernandez snagged a catch and quickly threw to Miguel Rojas before Toronto Blue Jay Addison Barger could tag up. That bag now holds a prominent place in the office of Derek Carr, the longtime Oakland-Las Vegas Raider and (briefly) New Orleans Saint, who is a California native and lifetime Dodgers fan. Carr and his brother, fellow NFL QB David Carr, acquired the base as a gift from a business partner, and they consider it a 'precious' piece of Dodgers history.

  • The 2025 World Series took place in October 2025.
  • Game 6, where the Dodgers clinched the championship, occurred in late October 2025.

What they’re saying

“We have it in the office and we put it right in the door where we do our 'Homegrown' deal. If you want to come in our office, you have to round second base to come in. It's awesome.”

— Derek Carr (AM 570)

“It's got the dirt marks, it's got the cleat marks, it's got everything. This is such a precious thing to some Dodger fans, obviously, for that moment to end right there at second base and now it's sitting here in our office in Fresno, California, is pretty cool.”
