1986
this was the first world series game 7 to be played at dodger stadium (and the first postseason game 7 of any postseason series at the stadium since the 1988 nlcs, and the dodgers' first world series game 7 since 1965 against the minnesota twins). it was also the first time since the 1931 world series that a game 7 occurred in a series with both teams having won at least 100 games during the season. besides, this was the first time since the 2001 world series and 2002 world series that back-to-back fall classics had a game 7.
2017 world series
for the first time since , a seventh game of the world series ended with a 1–0 verdict. this world series was also the first since to end with an extra-inning seventh-game when the home team, the washington senators (who would become the twins franchise in 1961), won it in their last at-bat. the same thing would also happen in the 1997 world series when the florida marlins would beat the cleveland indians in the eleventh inning of game 7. (game 7 of the 2016 world series also went to extra innings, when the visiting chicago cubs defeated the cleveland indians in 10 innings.) this game set a world series record for the longest scoreless tie in game 7. only one other world series game went longer without a run being scored (game 6 of the 1956 world series went to two outs in the bottom of the 10th before the winning run was scored).
