The opportunity to own a World Series ring in both digital and physical forms has never been offered previously, and we hope this is the first of many such drops as we continue to develop unique multifaceted experiences for our fans.

The physical ring will contain the NFTs token ID that can be verified on a public blockchain explorer. Alongside this, the winner will also get four premium tickets to a Dodgers game and a VIP first pitch experience at Dodger Stadium.

“As MLB continues to look for new ways to engage with our fans, the Dodgers World Series ring NFT presents an innovative offering to commemorate the first World Series champion of the new decade,” MLB chief revenue officer Noah Garden explained during the announcement.
