Superstar play from Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, rookie pitching contributions across the board and savvy veteran trade deadline additions made it a collective effort to propel one of the best teams in baseball to unprecedented heights.
Those at Chavez Ravine know the work they've all put in and now turn their eyes to the postseason.
Eager to wash away last season's shortcomings, Roberts seeks redemption and one of the more impressive World Series championships in recent memory in just a week.
