The Los Angeles Dodgers headed home on Sunday after their epic Game 7 World Series win in Toronto the night before. MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto took an epic photo from the plane and shared four well-earned words in English on the post.

The 27-year-old Japanese pitcher won three games in the World Series — all on the road — vs. the Toronto Blue Jays, including Game 6 and then Game 7 when he came in for 2.2 innings after throwing 96 pitches the night before.

It was an epic performances for the ages that even had Dodgers manager Dave Roberts calling him out as “The G.O.A.T.” during his speech after the game.

Then the Dodgers shared one with different players holding the trophy and one with Yamamoto asleep with it on the plane. He reposted it and wrote, “Such a happy flight!”

Yamamoto usually speaks through his Japanese interpreter and posts in his native language, so it came as a surprise to see his post in English reacting to it.

He’s been in the MLB from Japan only two seasons with the Dodgers and already has two championships and a World Series MVP on his resume.

Indeed it was a happy flight home.

Yamamoto and the Dodgers will have their parade in Los Angeles on Monday.
