1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>We are with the most popular man in Los Angeles. No,

2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>not Key k Hernandez or Mookie Bets or Freddie Freeman.

3
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>The local kid has come home as a world champion,

4
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and that is the one and only Jack Flaherty Man.

5
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Were you even expecting all this love on the way back.

6
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 2>No, I wasn't. I knew it was gonna be cool

7
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:18.839
<v Speaker 2>to come back. I know it was gonna be awesome

8
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and it was gonna be a lot of fun, but

9
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't expect the love and support, and you know,

10
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 2>walking out for my warm up and getting some people

11
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 2>cheering saying good to have you back and everything, and

12
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>then no ovation as I walked off the mount was

13
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>something I'll never forget and something I really would never

14
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>never have expected ever. So it was really cool.

15
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>That had to mean a lot to you, even though

16
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>you're in a different uniform competing against the home team,

17
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 1>that these fans will never forget what you did last year.

18
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>It's I appreciate, especially being being a hometown kid, being

19
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>from here and getting to live out, you know, my

20
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>childhood dream, and then to come back and get a

21
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>standing oh as a visiting team. Shoot, I mean it

22
00:00:58.359 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>was really cool. It was really cool.

23
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Really, when I said you're the most popular guy here today,

24
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I felt like you went and visited with each and

25
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 1>every one of your teammates from last year. What's the

26
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 1>bond that you always have with those guys winning?

27
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just winning, you know it was Uh,

28
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I really didn't know how much it was gonna hold up,

29
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.519
<v Speaker 2>And it was great spending those those months with them

30
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and keeping in touch with those guys afterwards, and just

31
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess, uh, it's been special being was being a

32
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>part of that team and still holding that holding that

33
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>bond with them. I appreciate them. I appreciate them coming

34
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 2>out saying hi, and just you know, you get the

35
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>five minutes with with each guy, just catch up, see

36
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 2>how they're doing, see how fam is, and uh, you

37
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:38.560
<v Speaker 2>appreciate every single second you get with them.

38
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Jack, what stands out to you the most about the

39
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>run you guys made last year? You were such a

40
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.599
<v Speaker 1>big part of it. Does any one moment stand out

41
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>where you felt like we have a real chance to

42
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>do this?

43
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I think we always felt like we had a real chance.

44
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 2>That that Padre series was really tough. Uh. What Yama

45
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 2>was able to do in Game five was was huge.

46
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>And then uh, you know, Kike and Tale coming up

47
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>with huge swings. Winning that game was huge, and then

48
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>you know I, from there as starters, we kind of

49
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>started to rolla i'mna kind of set the tone. And

50
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>then you know I went out Game one pitched well,

51
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>and then Walker did his thing. You know, Game three,

52
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Alma came back, Game four pitched well. So it felt

53
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>like from there its starters. Once. Once we got one

54
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>good start it, the three of us started to figure

55
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>it out and put it put a couple of good

56
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>ones together, which is kind of what we needed and

57
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of what you know, it was said that we

58
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't have enough of, but uh, you know, those bullpen

59
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 2>guys picked us up. And obviously the lineup they they

60
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>were relentless and they never stopped scoring. Being down five

61
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>nothing in game five, uh you know, they they just

62
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>kept going. Especially you know, you get a guy like

63
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 2>Garrett on the mountain that he's one of, if not

64
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the best, in the league. You wish him a speedy recovery,

65
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>but what they're able to do just keep chipping away

66
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>and you give him a second chance, and they never

67
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>stopped Jack.

68
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>He was so cool the whole October run and once

69
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.639
<v Speaker 1>you got here. Your mom and your family were at
