00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.320
I'm joing right now by the man
that had three hundred and fifty saves in

2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:10.119
his Dodger career, the most by
any Dodger pitcher in the franchise history going

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:15.000
all the way back to Brooklyn,
and he is one of only five pitchers

4
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:20.039
to have four hundred and thirty nine
saves on the way to Cooperstown, the

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.239
one and only Kenley Jansen, Kenley, Great to have you back at Dodger

6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.480
Stadium. Great to have you back
to if say, I mean, shit,

7
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.079
man, I'm glad to be back
here seeing you in Yeah. Man,

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.200
Like you say, man, it's
crazy to hear the Chiaplin, But

9
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.399
we gotta stay motivated and keep going. It feels like all the hugs and

10
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.840
all that friendly stuff has gone out
the window after yesterday. It feels like,

11
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.000
you know what, all the emotions
and friendliness is gone. I mean

12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.240
as baseball. You know that's my
first home when I give up this year

13
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.679
and you know, first blown saves
since April. Hey, you know that's

14
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.200
sometimes stay humble, right, keep
you humble, and you know it just

15
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.480
shows you. Right, what did
you say to kyk No, I mean,

16
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.680
for any guy on that team,
if that have to happen. You

17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.239
know, I'm glad it happened with
KK. You know, I love KK.

18
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.959
Great teammates of mine, having them
with the Dodgers and less share with

19
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.920
the Red Sox. So I mean
it put a good swing at the ball

20
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.439
and tip my cap to him,
you know. And today's now today when

21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.439
you saw Key K today, what's
that feeling like? Same feeling? Just

22
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.480
show him some love, man,
you know, like I say, it's

23
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.840
been a long teammate of mine and
like you say, man, we playing

24
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.319
against each other now, but you
know, we do what we have to

25
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:48.439
do during the game, but you
know, on the sidelines, off the

26
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:49.799
field, will just show each other
love. Man. That's that's That's what

27
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.599
it is about the one part that
I love. It's not just seeing you

28
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.799
with some of the staff, but
some of your former teammates and the guy

29
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.040
that you were teammates with longer than
anybody. You saved more games for Kershaw

30
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.200
than any other reliever in his career. What's it like to be back with

31
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.319
him? I love cursh Man.
Like I say, man, I'll be

32
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.479
I'll be watching this guy pitch his
first game closely because I was catching him

33
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.120
and and and in Mile League baseball. I was his first, you know,

34
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.360
And yeah, now I've got a
lot of saves for him also too,

35
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.159
So it's it's always awesome to see
him. Man, every time I

36
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.240
come here around, that's the first
guy I wanted to see in this cursh

37
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:37.479
You guys were together back in Vero
Beach and Kenley Jansen is back at Dodgers

38
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.120
Stadium. Kenley, when you look
back at your career, can you take

39
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.000
it all in? Or you're in
the moment right now. And obviously the

40
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.599
goal is five hundred saves. Well, the goal is you know, I'll

41
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.479
try to get like I say,
right now, you know you look at

42
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.960
five hundred, but then you know, I'll stay motivated. Man, I

43
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.360
want to play this game for a
little bit longer, and I believe he

44
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.280
could do something special things and I
gotta keep my body in shave. And

45
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.439
yeah, we're aiming for five hundred
right now, and you know, a

46
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.719
couple of seasons hopefully can get it. So, like I say, man,

47
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.039
it's the law for the game that
I have since it was a five

48
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.719
years old kid growing up watching the
Braves, watching my favorite player, Fred

49
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.719
McGrath, watching Andrew Jones hit the
two Homeless and Will says, never thought

50
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.159
that, you know I will be
here too, So I'm having an unbelievable

51
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.840
career. And yeah, of course
that's that's that's a thing you focus on.

52
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.080
But also, you know, winning
championship is my first priority. So

53
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.719
you know, I wanna, I
want to. I want to get another

54
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.560
one. I know you do.
And you never know where you might get

55
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.479
that next one. You never know, so that's the good thing about it.

56
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.960
Kenley Jansen is our guest. Ken
Ley always loyal to LA. His

57
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.159
teammates were wearing Celtics jersey to celebrate
the Boston NBA championship, but Kenley would

58
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.240
not wear the green, So we
still love you in Lah. Yeah,

59
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:00.960
I can't, man, I can't
do that. Man. I mean,

60
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:05.360
I'm I'm growing up as a kid
watching Shack play with the magic, breaking

61
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.680
the rains. I'm becoming his favorite
player. And then when he got when

62
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:15.080
he got sent over to LA,
you know, ninety six, you know,

63
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.160
ever since, I've been a leaguer
fan. So like I said,

64
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.639
man, purple goal, that's where
I belong. And as much respect to

65
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:27.519
have of the Red Sox fans and
and and Boston fans overall, but I

66
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.360
think they all get it. Also
to it. If I'm a huge fan

67
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.040
growing up being a Lakers, you
know, it's I'm happy for them to

68
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.199
win the championship, but it's also
hard to wear that uniform. Kenley.

69
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:43.319
Can't wait until we celebrate you at
Dodger Stadium after a great career, a

70
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:47.240
Hall of Fame worthy career, and
I envision number seventy four being down the

71
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.879
left field line with all those Dodger
greats one day. Great to have you

72
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.319
back here, and I'll let you
get ready for the game. All right,

73
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.160
I said, thank you, thank
you for having me there. He

74
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.360
is the all time saves leader and
Dodger franchise, his story, The one

75
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:01.800
and only Kenley Jansen
