Emmett Sheehan '21 Helps Dodgers Win the World Series

The pitcher became the first Eagle to win an MLB championship in November.

Pitcher Emmet Sheehan became the first Eagle to win an MLB championship when the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays last fall in seven games. Sheehan pitched for BC from 2019 to 2021, when he was selected by the Dodgers in the MLB draft. Called up to the majors in 2023, he tossed six no-hit innings in his debut start. Sheehan threw out of the bullpen during the World Series, appearing in three games and allowing three runs across four innings. Shortstop Lennie Merullo is believed to be the only other Eagle to have played in a World Series game, appearing in three games, with two at bats, for the Chicago Cubs in 1945. ◽
