Kirk, from Tijuana and the first Mexican catcher in a World Series, was pivotal in Game 1 with his homer that helped tie and then overcome the deficit. “I wanted better tools. But this is what God gave me. It never bothered me. I'm very happy with what I have,” Kirk said about his unconventional physique, according to MLB. The Dodgers, 2024 champions, seek their ninth title and to be the first team to win consecutive crowns since the 2000 Yankees.
