This is one of the greatest meltdowns that I've ever seen in 40 years,

I don't know if I've ever quite seen an inning like this, especially in a World Series or postseason game,

Jeter said on FOX's postgame show

The success of the postseason is very similar to how we were able to pull it off during the regular season,

Ohtani said, via interpreter Will Ireton

I’m honoured to be able to be part of a season where we played the longest, and to be able to get to know this team,

said Ohtani following the celebrations

Freddie Freemanlos Angeles Dodgers first baseman

I think we were all saying the first three innings – ‘let’s just get one, just chip away, we can do this,

said Freeman, who drove in two runs in the fifth inning rally with a single

I wish I was in a little better shape so my heart could have handled it better,

the Dodgers pitcher said

He’s like someone who lives above the clouds, so it’s a huge source of pride that he comes from Oshu,

44-year-old Norihisa Sato told the AFP news agency at a public viewing event at city hall earlier in the series

Mookie Bettsoutfielder

We’re obviously resilient, but there’s so much love in the clubhouse that won this game today,

Betts said

There’s just a lot of ways we can win baseball games,

Buehler said

We gotta keep grinding, taking good at-bats and scratch our way back into this game,

he said on the Fox broadcast

When you're given extra outs and you capitalize in that kind of game, that's huge,

Freeman said

I'll be open to listen to every single team,

Soto said

This is going to sting forever,

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said

Dave Roberts (baseball manager)manager

I looked in his eyes. I said how you feeling? How much more you got?"

Roberts recalled

You can't give a good team like that extra outs,

Judge said

We faced every adversity possible and we overcame every single one,

Freeman said, who won his second title after 2021 with Atlanta, and rebounded from a sprained ankle to homer in each of the first four Series games

I think our lineup did a really good job battling and seeing pitches during that big five-run inning,

Ohtani said through an interpreter

Aaron Boonemanager

We didn't take care of the ball well enough in (the fifth) inning,

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said
