Dodgers offer fans chance to buy World Series rings for $50k
The fan ring does have a few differences from the players' version, including the World Series trophy replacing the MLB logo. (Credit: Jostens) Los Angeles Dodgers fans looking to commemorate the team's 2024 World Series title can now order personalized championship rings similar to those given to the players ... but it's going to cost $50,000. Advertisement While it is common for teams to sell commemorative championship rings modeled after player examples to fans, rarely have we seen such a flashy option available for purchase. The Dodgers are allowing season-ticket holders the chance to order rings that share many similarities with the player's given out earlier this year, including 343 diamonds, 17 custom-cut sapphires and a total carat weight of 13.25. Designed by Jostens, the same company that made the official rings, the fan examples have some key differences. On the player ring, the jersey number appears underneath the last name on one side of the ring, along with the MLB logo. The fan ring instead shows the World Series trophy. The inside of the ring also features a copy of the player's signature, which is not present on the fan ring. Advertisement However, one of the most interesting details of the ring does appear in the fan copy: a game-used piece of base from the World Series embedded in the top of the ring. Generally, the most expensive copies offered to fans are in the $10,000 range—and feature considerably lower carats and jewels. However, this offering is not totally without precedent. Years after the 2009 World Series, the Yankees allowed a fan to customize their own ring from the title for more than $100,000. When the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup last year, "legacy" season-ticket holders who have had seats since the franchise's inception were gifted their own rings, too.

Dodgers receive 2024 World Series rings with 1 more dig at the Yankees, then win thriller vs. Tigers
Dodgers receive 2024 World Series rings with 1 more dig at the Yankees, then win thriller vs. Tigers A day after hoisting their World Series flag, the Los Angeles Dodgers had some World Series rings to give out. Then a game to win in absurd fashion. The 2024 World Series champs distributed their newest jewelry in a pregame ceremony Friday, celebrating their eighth title with a ring featuring their iconic hexagonal scoreboards, palm trees, the scores of their three series wins and a golden World Series trophy, and Dodger Stadium inside a hinged opening. Advertisement Designed by Jostens, the ring's more personal touches include 34 blue stones in honor of Fernando Valenzuela's jersey number, the Dodgers legend who died shortly before the Fall Classic, and an actual piece from a World Series base. And then there were the five diamonds at the bottom of the ring, in honor of the 5-0 deficit the Dodgers erased in Game 5 to clinch the World Series. Given how they gave up those runs, New York Yankees fans should probably look away. Screencap of the Dodgers' World Series ring video. (X) (X) Considering how much trash the Dodgers have talked about the Yankees' mistake-riddle meltdown in that Game 5, we probably shouldn't be surprised they decided to immortalize it in their hardware. Advertisement The ring ceremony was set up in a way only Hollywood's favorite team could pull off. Emmy-nominated actor Anthony Anderson hosted the proceedings and announced each player, but the really nice touch was the voice that followed him. Movie buffs might recognize the voice of Randy Thomas, who provides the bios for every winner at the Academy Awards, listing off each player's accomplishments as they walked the blue carpet. It gave Dodger Stadium an Oscars feel as the players shook hands with Dodgers principal owner Mark Walter, team president Stan Kasten and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. The Dodgers entered Friday with a 3-0 record after sweeping the Japan Series against the Chicago Cubs and taking their home opener against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. One member of the 2024 team who didn't receive his ring was Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty, who was preparing to make his Tigers debut against his old team. Advertisement He will reportedly receive his ring Saturday. Flaherty made an impressive showing in front of his old home crowd, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning, but that was just the first chapter of a thriller. World Series MVP Freddie Freeman tied the game in the sixth with a two-run homer, then Mookie Betts, still operating underweight after fighting a stomach illness for two weeks, gave the Dodgers the lead in the eighth inning with a solo homer. Tanner Scott, one of the Dodgers' biggest offseason acquisitions, blew the save in the ninth and the game appeared lost when the Tigers scored two in the top of the 10th, but the Dodgers displayed the kind of clutch hitting that won them the title last year in the bottom of the frame. Advertisement Hits from Michael Conforto and Will Smith tied the game with only one out, then Betts stepped up again with his second homer of the night. Again, that was a man unable to eat solid foods without vomiting until about three days ago. The win pushed the Dodgers' record to 4-0, and this year's team is looking no worse than last year's.
