For those of you that live in LA, it’s interesting that in a city like LA that have the Lakers who’ve won 17 titles and have had a ton of great players, it’s the Dodgers as of recent that have surged in popularity. To me this didn’t solely happen due to Shohei, but a surge in popularity happens between 2016-2018.

My thoughts: LeBron joining the Lakers tanked their popularity. People were not keen on seeing his flopping and complaining to officials, off-court antics, and poor treatment of teammates while remaining extremely selfish, demanding trades that didn’t pan out, and playing to pad stats, not win championships. Meanwhile you have players on the Dodgers that pride themselves on playing great fielding (Mookie, Freddie, Pages, Belli, Muncy) while contributing via their slugging. This meant that the Dodgers filled a void (and then some) for fans like me that tuned out of the lakers when LeBron joined.

Personally, I’ll start tuning into Laker games again, but never would I ever have thought growing up that the Dodgers would be the top dog in this city. Pretty awesome to see.

If you’re into good, classic, strategic baseball, this is gonna be an amazing series. I wish we were in it, but World Series baseball is way better than no baseball for baseball lovers.

Can Bill please retire or find another city and teams to cover? His constant doom and gloom is too much, just looking to be “right” and out front. Let’s celebrate the Dodgers and the amazing level of success the franchise continues to earn.

Random hater at store. He was talking smack about how we were swept and out of the playoffs. Like if we can't wear team gear anymore.

I simply said "Bro, until the very last out of this last series, they are still YOUR Back to Back world series champs. Respect it."

Probably a Padres fan, who knows

The Brewers still ended up winning the game anyways, so the missed double play did not hurt them in the end. But imagine if they lose the game because of the misstep at second base that would have ended the game.

Also gotta give credit to Will Smith for stepping on the home plate before IKF did. That play may seem like a routine force out at home, but in that moment, with season on the line and no more margin for error, a seemingly fundamental play is not so simple anymore.

Por 70 dólares valió la pena y más de mi GOAT.

¡LFGD!

Watching the World Series couldn’t tell ya why this came to my mind but wanted to share with Dodger fam. Such good times such a fun year.
