and BU baseball legend Max Muncy makes his fourth-career appearance in the Fall Classic with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the most by a former Bear all-time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

as announced by the organization ahead of Game 1, which is set for 7 p.m. CT from Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

a total of 16 times. His four-career appearances are the most by a Bear all-time, passing Dave Danforth (1911, ’17, ‘19). Three other former Bears have each made two appearances on a World Series roster, including Mule Watson, Ted Uhlaender and David Murphy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;">A native of Keller, Texas, Muncy starred at Baylor from 2010-12 as a Freshman
All-American and two-time All-Big 12 First Team honoree. He jumped into the lineup as a freshman in 2010, starting 59 games at first base and hitting .300 with a school freshman-record 11 home runs and 53 RBIs. He hit .322 in both his sophomore and junior
seasons with a combined 16 home runs and 100 RBIs, leading the Bears to a Big 12 title in 2012 with 49 wins and a Super Regional appearance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

climbed the ranks in the Oakland organization before making his big-league debut on April 25, 2015. After splitting the 2016 season between Oakland and the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, Muncy was designated for assignment and released by the A’s towards the end
of spring training in 2017. He later signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers, where he’d go on to make two All-Star teams, place inside the top-15 in MVP voting three times, and become the first Bear to participate in the Home Run Derby in 2018.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

a dramatic 18<sup>th</sup>-inning game-winner in Game 3 of the 2018 Fall Classic against the Boston Red Sox. On the way to a title in 2020, Muncy hit .250 in 18 postseason games, including a .318 average with a home run and six RBIs in the World Series victory
over the Tampa Bay Rays.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

in major league history to reach base 12 consecutive times in a single postseason, which also tied Reggie Jackson’s overall MLB postseason record (spanning across two postseasons). He helped LA to its second title in the last five seasons and became the first
two-time World Series winner in Baylor history.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

2 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers to set a Dodgers franchise record. He is currently hitting .214 and slugging .357 across 10 postseason games.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

and first three-time winner, as his Dodgers take on the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 Fall Classic. All games in the series will be televised on FOX, with first pitch times set for 7 p.m. CT.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; margin: 0in;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.25pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: black;"> </span></p>

Fall Classic, including Muncy and the Dodgers in 2020 and 2024, Shea Langeliers (taxi squad) and the Atlanta Braves in 2021, and Cody Bradford with the Texas Rangers in 2023.</span></p>
