Speaker 1: Along with David vassa our Dodger Insider. We are live
Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium on this Friday morning, November first, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, as the city of Los Angeles comes together
Speaker 1: and celebrates a World Series championship. We are live at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium, where the party has already begun. The celebration
Speaker 1: will continue after noon today with the Podium celebration. The
Speaker 1: chairs are all set up just past second base. There's
Speaker 1: a blue carpet from center field all the way out
Speaker 1: to behind second base with a platform and podium where
Speaker 1: we'll hear from players and coaches and dignitaries beginning after
Speaker 1: twelve o'clock this afternoon. I'm inside Dodger Stadium, David Vassay
Speaker 1: like nobody else in Southern California, the most exclusive coverage.
Speaker 1: He's on one of the team buses that will make
Speaker 1: its way through the parade route. David, what's going on
Speaker 1: outside Dodgers Statium? Where you guys part that right now?
Speaker 2: Oh, we're in the place the players usually park here.
Speaker 2: That's where the buses are set up to go to
Speaker 2: City Hall and from there onto the parade route that
Speaker 2: will end up here at Dodger Stadium where you're at Tim,
Speaker 2: and look, I know a lot of the players are
Speaker 2: really excited for this. Running into some of them in
Speaker 2: the clubhouse, They've brought all their families, so it's not
Speaker 2: just going to be the players on these buses. You're
Speaker 2: going to see their families on the same buses as well.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts Andrew Friedman are going to be on one
Speaker 2: bus together. You're going to have Freddie Freeman on one bus.
Speaker 2: Otani Yamamoto, from my understanding, are going to be among
Speaker 2: the players that are on the bus that I'm currently on,
Speaker 2: so you'll hear from those guys. And we have Kirsten
Speaker 2: Watson on another bus, so you'll hear all those interviews.
Speaker 2: And then once the rally at Dodger Stadium is over,
Speaker 2: we'll get more of those guys to come on. But honestly,
Speaker 2: this is their day. I'm not really sure Tim being
Speaker 2: around these guys how much they realize this city loves
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and loves them. I really guys like Mookie
Speaker 2: Bets and Freddie Freeman, they are really locked in and
Speaker 2: with blinders on. During the season winning the World Series
Speaker 2: at Yankee Stadium, they got a little taste of it.
Speaker 2: They know that the Dodger fans are very passionate, but
Speaker 2: they're humble guys, and I'm not sure until today they're
Speaker 2: going to realize just how much they mean to so
Speaker 2: many fans.
Speaker 1: He is David Veasse on one of the team bus
Speaker 1: is Tim Kates inside Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3: We're live on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Live right now as well as we are presented by
Speaker 1: Yamova and David. The last time the Dodgers had a
Speaker 1: World Series Championship parade it in and at City Hall.
Speaker 1: We know what Tommy Listorta did out there, dance and
Speaker 1: shaking it around on stage.
Speaker 3: And one of the guys on that eighty eight.
Speaker 1: World Series Championship team, one of the guys that was
Speaker 1: on that stage that day, we're in a beautiful looking suit.
Speaker 3: And a power red tie.
Speaker 1: He was Steve Saxon. He's joining us here in the booth.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, what's going on? Buddy's up? Tim? How are
Speaker 3: you doing? My friend doing good? Good to see you.
Speaker 1: David's on a bus getting ready to hang out with
Speaker 1: Dodger players.
Speaker 3: He's out there in the parking lot. David, how you doing,
Speaker 3: my friend?
Speaker 4: I know you're having a great time, and those players
Speaker 4: are actually whispering to one another.
Speaker 3: Hey, look there's David vassaying. I mean, that's what they're
Speaker 3: probably saying. I wouldn't be saying that.
Speaker 4: And remember, I wish you would refer to me as
Speaker 4: as a current scam member.
Speaker 3: That's right, Okay, yeah, coast a scam right? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Winning a nineteen eighty eight and nineteen eighty one World
Speaker 2: Series takes a back seat to co hosting a full
Speaker 2: month with Tim Kates, Right, Steve, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's it's kind of rubbing up against each other.
Speaker 2: Career highlight. Career highlight for you hosting a morning show
Speaker 2: with Tim Kate's love it.
Speaker 3: It's it's been great. It's been fun.
Speaker 4: And listen, if we're doing that, that means the Dodgers
Speaker 4: are in motion, right, They're in the postseason and they're
Speaker 4: doing their thing.
Speaker 1: Take us back to nineteen eighty eight, Saxy and the
Speaker 1: the hour before a parade on the floats going to
Speaker 1: City Hall. Do you remember what was it like the
Speaker 1: day of a championship.
Speaker 4: Parade back in nineteen eighty Well, I had my wife
Speaker 4: and two little ones, and so it was it was
Speaker 4: a great time for them, especially the kids get to
Speaker 4: kind of say, Daddy would letting his hair down a
Speaker 4: little bit, not grinding it out every day at the ballpark,
Speaker 4: and this is a fun time for them.
Speaker 3: This is no.
Speaker 4: Actual technicalities of baseball. This is a human part of it,
Speaker 4: and they're going out and having a good time today.
Speaker 2: Hey, Steve, do you think Mickey Hatcher remembers anything from
Speaker 2: that eighty eight parade?
Speaker 3: Vicky Hatcher.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Mickey might have had it, might be tipping one or
Speaker 4: two the day of the parade. He was having a
Speaker 4: good time, as he always always did. He was such
Speaker 4: a great teammate and a really good player too. He
Speaker 4: was so instrumental in us winning the World Series. But
Speaker 4: that that whole thing was such a blur, and you know,
Speaker 4: you snap it all off with the with the parade.
Speaker 3: It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 4: The outpour of love that you get from the fans,
Speaker 4: it's incredible. And a lot of you guys were si
Speaker 4: that day, right, Yes, good point, we were. Many of
Speaker 4: the guys got sick day because you just let your
Speaker 4: defenses down and with all the stress that's going on,
Speaker 4: physical and emotional, mental stress throughout the course of the
Speaker 4: playoffs that after you let that defense down, a lot
Speaker 4: of guys got sick, and on the parade they were.
Speaker 2: Hey, Steve, I was going to ask you, when you
Speaker 2: look back at the eighty eight parade and the World championship,
Speaker 2: would you have any advice for any of these players
Speaker 2: just to be able to you know, when you're playing,
Speaker 2: you're so focused. If you had any advice for them
Speaker 2: on this parade, what would it be?
Speaker 3: I would say, A enjoy the moment.
Speaker 4: These scenes can be few and far between you as
Speaker 4: great as a team is. But I would say, after
Speaker 4: this parade and take everything in with it, go home
Speaker 4: and don't touch a baseball for at least a month,
Speaker 4: two weeks, and.
Speaker 3: Whatever it is in Spade Saxon.
Speaker 1: Now that we're forty eight hours away from the Dodgers
Speaker 1: winning that World Series championship, when you think about the
Speaker 1: five game series against the Yankees and even this playoff run,
Speaker 1: what are one or two of the things that really
Speaker 1: stick out that you're going to remember from this twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four playoff and World Series run.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you, almost almost as a you know, a
Speaker 4: secondary thing. You'll think about how great and talented the
Speaker 4: team is. But that's really almost secondary. We all know that,
Speaker 4: we all know what Shoeyo Tani brings, and what a
Speaker 4: professional hitter Freddie Freeman is and how great Mookie Betts
Speaker 4: is and all that. But what I will take away
Speaker 4: from this was the tenacity of this team. How no
Speaker 4: matter how good they were, no matter how much money
Speaker 4: they made, there was a lot of guys like that
Speaker 4: the team wanted it. Nothing more emblematic than when Walker
Speaker 4: Buehler sacrificed if he had to his own body to
Speaker 4: say I can go in there for the ninth inning.
Speaker 4: And he did, and Walker Buehler was hunting those hitters.
Speaker 3: This not the other way around.
Speaker 4: Walker Buehler took on the challenge and hunted those guys
Speaker 4: down and mowed him down for the victory. An incredible
Speaker 4: testimony of what this team's all about.
Speaker 2: Hey, Steve, I'm not sure if you heard what I reported,
Speaker 2: but on the flight back home, Walker Buehler took me
Speaker 2: through how he ended up in the bullpen, and it
Speaker 2: reminded me of when Oral Hershcheizer came in relief in
Speaker 2: Game four in the NLCS in nineteen eighty eight. As
Speaker 2: you know, Steve, Tommy Losorda did not send Oral Herscheizer
Speaker 2: to the bullpen.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 2: Oral went on his own correct, same thing with Walker Buehller.
Speaker 2: Can you believe that's he ran to Yes, he ran
Speaker 2: out to the bullpen on his own. And when he
Speaker 2: got there, Mark Pryor called down to the bullpen and
Speaker 2: got him on the phone and said, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: What are you doing down there?
Speaker 3: What was the conversation after that?
Speaker 2: And Buehler told him, I told you guys, if things
Speaker 2: went wonky, I was going to go down to the bullpen.
Speaker 2: And with Jack Flaherty only lasting and inning plus, things
Speaker 2: got wonky. And that's when he went to the bullpen
Speaker 2: and warmed up, and Daniel Hudson told me he was
Speaker 2: throwing ninety eight in his warm ups and that's how
Speaker 2: it happened.
Speaker 4: Wow, that is an incredible like eighty eight, just like
Speaker 4: eighty eight.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's something.
Speaker 4: You know, Oral Herscheires certainly been around the organization a
Speaker 4: long time. That story reverberates through the organization. Now, Walker
Speaker 4: Bueller someday is gonna be able to share that and
Speaker 4: be part of the history of the next generation that
Speaker 4: comes up and does those things. That's an incredible story.
Speaker 4: But only David Vessy would be.
Speaker 3: Able to get it. That's great.
Speaker 1: That's because he's on the Team play and today David
Speaker 1: Vassy live right now on one of the Team Busters,
Speaker 1: and he'll be there during the parade. David, We've got
Speaker 1: to cut Saxy loose. He's got a suit on, he's
Speaker 1: got a toe on, and he's all combed up to
Speaker 1: make up up right now as he's on with Jim Hill,
Speaker 1: all at CBS two.
Speaker 3: All powdered up. But I look about what your ring.
Speaker 4: I know I'd never worn him and and and Day
Speaker 4: never wore your eighty eight ring, never or either, would
Speaker 4: never wore either one. Really, I just don't, I mean,
Speaker 4: I just I just don't. Anyway, The point is now
Speaker 4: that I'm about half is good, No, not half. One
Speaker 4: tenth is good is what David Vassy looks like when
Speaker 4: he's all powdered up, right.
Speaker 3: So I'm just trying to trying to get a little
Speaker 3: tidbit of what you got, Dave. That's all man.
Speaker 2: You are the You are in so much better shape
Speaker 2: and way better looking than I am, even what twenty
Speaker 2: years younger than your sax.
Speaker 4: Right, you don't have to come on this Tim is
Speaker 4: just take the twenty bucks I gave you, David, don't
Speaker 4: tell me about.
Speaker 3: It, Saxy, Thanks for doing this, man. Thanks, Hey, good luck, David,
Speaker 3: Thank thanks.
Speaker 2: Thanks for not forgetting the little people like Tim Kates
Speaker 2: on a big day like today.
Speaker 4: He's out little Believe he's a big He's a big,
Speaker 4: big fish.
Speaker 3: Now all right, Wow you guys later.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Appreciate that, Saxy. Uh check him out on CBS too.
Speaker 1: We're live on Instagram live right now by the way
Speaker 1: on a FI seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3: What a morning, Dave.
Speaker 1: This this is starting to get wrapped up even more.
Speaker 1: I mean, Dodger Stadium is starting to fill up. They'll
Speaker 1: have the parade on the Dodger Vision here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: They've got all the setup in shallow center field right
Speaker 1: behind second base ready to go, with chairs lined up
Speaker 1: for all the players and families and dignitaries.
Speaker 3: They've got a stage set up with just a podium.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: It's a simple podium on a circular blue stage that
Speaker 1: the players and coaches and dignitaries will all be speaking from.
Speaker 1: So this is starting to get a little bit of
Speaker 1: a buzz here. And I know on the parade. Wish
Speaker 1: we're gonna che check in with Corbyn Carson from KFI
Speaker 1: in just a little bit get an updated from the
Speaker 1: parade route. But Dave, the players are starting to trickle
Speaker 1: on the buses. Are we too soon for that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Not yet, not yet. They're starting to hover around the
Speaker 2: buses here to get ready. And I don't know about you, Tim,
Speaker 2: but just looking back at this October run for the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: it does remind me of I hate bringing back the
Speaker 2: same analogy I used, but I think it went back
Speaker 2: to the Lakers and their rivalry with the Kings and
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs, and once they got through those teams
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference, whoever they were going to play
Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals was just there. And that's how
Speaker 2: it felt. With the Yankees, right, want to reminded me
Speaker 2: of the New Jersey Nets when the Lakers completed the
Speaker 2: three peat. The nets were nowhere near the talented and
Speaker 2: smart Laker team. That's how it felt when the Dodgers
Speaker 2: got there against the Yankees. The Yankees, yes they were
Speaker 2: in the World Series, but they played in a very
Speaker 2: weak American league and also their road to the World Series,
Speaker 2: the Royals and the Guardians. Yea was not as tough
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers, beating arguably the best team not to
Speaker 2: get to the World Series, the San Diego Padres, coming
Speaker 2: back from two games to one, and then beating the
Speaker 2: hottest team in all of Major League Baseball, the New
Speaker 2: York Mets. The Yankees, as you saw in that fifth
Speaker 2: inning of Game five, were not a very fundamentally sound team.
Speaker 2: Yes they could hit home runs, we saw that, and
Speaker 2: yes Garrett Cole was great, but they were not as
Speaker 2: good as the Dodgers. And you know, there was a
Speaker 2: real chance the Dodgers could have swept the Yankees.
Speaker 6: M h.
Speaker 2: It obviously didn't happen, But I just feel like the
Speaker 2: run the Dodgers had winning ninety eight games, it's gotta
Speaker 2: go down in baseball history, not just as in Dodger history.
Speaker 2: Is one of the great championship teams in the last
Speaker 2: fifty years. Especially with this extra round of playoffs, I
Speaker 2: think people forget about how tough it is to win
Speaker 2: a championship now with the extra round of playoffs.
Speaker 1: I think nationally DAVE people look at the Dodgers to say,
Speaker 1: high payroll, lots of star talent, they should win a championship.
Speaker 1: But when you get closer to the Dodgers and you
Speaker 1: watch one hundred and sixty two games and you're rooting
Speaker 1: for your team, and you realize the guys I'm rooting
Speaker 1: for this is a different starting pitching staff that looked
Speaker 1: completely different from opening day with James Paxton no longer there,
Speaker 1: and you know guys who came in and helped out
Speaker 1: at different points. You mentioned how many former players could
Speaker 1: be on this parade route today who made, you know,
Speaker 1: small contributions to.
Speaker 3: This twenty twenty four team.
Speaker 1: They had to grind and overcome a lot, and I
Speaker 1: know baseball fans outside of LA don't want to hear that,
Speaker 1: but they did. They had their ups and downs, the
Speaker 1: injuries to star players, and you know, the hills and
Speaker 1: valleys of a slump or one thing on the field,
Speaker 1: but injuries are a different part of it, and they
Speaker 1: had to overcome all of.
Speaker 3: That as well.
Speaker 1: But David, you mentioned the fifth inning against the Yankees.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen an inning where a
Speaker 1: team implodes so bad with those kind of mental airs
Speaker 1: not covering first and the two airs from Volpi and
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge who had no airs during the regular season
Speaker 1: and commits his first air in the World Series Game five.
Speaker 1: I mean, that was an implosion like none other.
Speaker 2: It really was. And you know, you look at the
Speaker 2: three plays the Yankees in that fifth inning gave the
Speaker 2: Dodgers six outs. If you think about number one, Aaron
Speaker 2: Judge clanking that fly ball from Kei Kay, that was
Speaker 2: a routine catch in center field. The lights did not
Speaker 2: play a factor. If you go back and look at
Speaker 2: the replay, you can see his eyes drifting and looking
Speaker 2: to first base. Number two, the Volpi play. Good play
Speaker 2: to try to get the runner at third base, but
Speaker 2: bad execution. I was talking to Jose Viscayno. One of
Speaker 2: the best, actually world champion Yankee. You gotta throw that
Speaker 2: ball higher. Volpi threw it in the dirt down to
Speaker 2: the third baseman. He may have not had his brain
Speaker 2: in the right place and thought it was a tag
Speaker 2: play instead of a force play. So that's a mental
Speaker 2: error as well as a physical error. And then, like
Speaker 2: you said, Garrett Cole not covering first base. That was
Speaker 2: just the icing on top of all of it. And
Speaker 2: those were the Yankees all season long, and for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: I know, we talk about the obvious. You know the
Speaker 2: power that they show, but they are one of the
Speaker 2: most fundamentally sound teams base running, fielding that is out there.
Speaker 2: Here's another thing, tim the Dodgers in spring training since
Speaker 2: day one, opening day, going back to South Korea, they
Speaker 2: maximize their pregame field opportunities. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman all
Speaker 2: the way down to Miguel Rojas and Gavin Lux out
Speaker 2: there on a daily basis working on throwing, the basis,
Speaker 2: working to turn double plays. They're working out there with
Speaker 2: Dino Ebol and Clayton McCullough. What I saw during the
Speaker 2: postseason was indicative of the envy other teams had. Not
Speaker 2: only did the Dodgers have the best players, but they
Speaker 2: had the work ethic of the of the worst player,
Speaker 2: meaning they would be out there every single day, while
Speaker 2: the Yankees the Mets, and the Padres the Padres. I
Speaker 2: take that back. They started doing it, but the Yankees
Speaker 2: had nobody out there. It was crickets on their field. Wow,
Speaker 2: when they had the opportunity to work on infield and
Speaker 2: outfield drills.
Speaker 1: It's the championship team grinding, getting it done, putting in
Speaker 1: the extra work like the Dodgers did the Yankees come
Speaker 1: up short in the defense? Well, you can see that
Speaker 1: they were not up to par the fifth Any David,
Speaker 1: Let's check in with kfive's own Corbyn Carson. He joins
Speaker 1: us now from the parade route as a parade will
Speaker 1: get under way in about forty five minutes at city
Speaker 1: Hall with Mayor Bass kicking things off. Corbyn, where are
Speaker 1: you and what does it look like out there?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 7: I'm at Fifth and Flower. This will be the end
Speaker 7: of the parade. This is the definition of a sea
Speaker 7: of blue. Dodgers jerseys are everywhere again. I'm at the
Speaker 7: end of the parade. The fans of line the streets.
Speaker 7: I'm getting here as early as five in the morning
Speaker 7: to get a front row seat. You got lawn chairs, tents.
Speaker 7: Some guy even set up a full complete bar with
Speaker 7: IPAs and mixed drinks at.
Speaker 2: Eight in the mor Yeah.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 7: Fans say they're owed this parade after missing out on
Speaker 7: the pandemic and waiting decades before that. This fan is
Speaker 7: from Jose Students in Jose State. He says the whole
Speaker 7: series was great, but his favorite part in.
Speaker 5: Game five, coming back down from that five zero deficit,
Speaker 5: that was that was a.
Speaker 6: Great thing to know at the time.
Speaker 5: Day Oh, I was definitely sun I was insted in
Speaker 5: my seat. We were required for a good like forty
Speaker 5: five minutes at the start, and then they started closing
Speaker 5: back and they started getting.
Speaker 6: The glad responsible to us. Moment four. Yeah, we watched
Speaker 6: we watched the Yankees.
Speaker 5: You know, they started really like Judge started with Judge,
Speaker 5: you know, miss mat that line drive at center field,
Speaker 5: and after that it just, you know, it just kept
Speaker 5: spinally and they they really couldn't get together. And then
Speaker 5: uh Cole in his air at first date, not getting
Speaker 5: over that CFC. You know that really that really put
Speaker 5: Dug a keap hoole fe. They they couldn't come back.
Speaker 6: To this, so it was great to see he was
Speaker 6: grateful on Yeah.
Speaker 7: I've also been asking fans who their favorite player is
Speaker 7: of the series. Obviously starting Freeman is leading my unofficial pole,
Speaker 7: some Walker Buellers, a couple of Mookie Beds. But the
Speaker 7: two guys from San Jose State, they say they had
Speaker 7: a different choint.
Speaker 5: You know, I got a just I got to give
Speaker 5: it to Tommy Edmit. You know, Tommy had been really
Speaker 5: surprised me I left the way that he played. He
Speaker 5: played hard, he played good and yeah, yeah, besuys Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 5: I think Edmonds up there for the MGC.
Speaker 6: I gotta go with Tommy Edmund as he's been a
Speaker 6: dog he uh fact, we picked him up. I knew
Speaker 6: he He speech is good and she proved at NLCS
Speaker 6: and even the world serious as you did there.
Speaker 7: You have the guys I'm waiting for here for that parade,
Speaker 7: like you said, is about to start at City Hall,
Speaker 7: run for about forty five minutes, and then in right
Speaker 7: here at Fifth.
Speaker 3: And Flower, Corvin.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you checking in, and we'll check back in
Speaker 1: during the parade as well and get an update from
Speaker 1: Faith and Flower where it's all going to end up
Speaker 1: there at eleven forty five around twelve o'clock as well, David,
Speaker 1: you are on the bus getting ready to get the
Speaker 1: players loaded up. They will head over to City Hall
Speaker 1: and have Mayor Bass kick things off at eleven o'clock
Speaker 1: with the parade then coming back to Dodger Stadium for
Speaker 1: the celebration here on the field.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Mary Bass also is at some Dodger games as well,
Speaker 2: so it was great to see her there and it'll
Speaker 2: be a great celebration it's City Hall. Now Here's what
Speaker 2: I was thinking, Tim. There are some characters on this
Speaker 2: Dodger team. Which one do you think is going to
Speaker 2: maybe grab the headlines at City Hall? I mean, if
Speaker 2: you think back to some of these championship parades from
Speaker 2: years past. You mentioned Tommy Lesorda dancing on the steps
Speaker 2: of City Hall in nineteen eighty eight, Shaq, can you
Speaker 2: dig it? In front of the Lakers parade for the
Speaker 2: first or second championship he got Mark Madson and his
Speaker 2: awkward white guy dancing. Yeah. So I'm predicting either Kei
Speaker 2: k Hernandez or Walker Bueller to make the highlight reel
Speaker 2: over and over again on social media. I think one
Speaker 2: of those two guys may say something that may grab
Speaker 2: the social media headlines.
Speaker 8: Yeah or t I tell you, I was just within
Speaker 8: him on that field, him and our Boston Morton.
Speaker 2: Everybody, Oh there he is, mamn.
Speaker 8: Hey. I was looking all over for you on the
Speaker 8: field after the game, couldn't find you anywhere.
Speaker 3: You were inside working getting wet.
Speaker 8: I'm out there with all the players and everybody else
Speaker 8: in the Yankee stadium going where's David Basse?
Speaker 2: I was in the clubhouse with the Trophy.
Speaker 3: Yes you were. I saw the pictures.
Speaker 8: I only wanted to pop on here real quick, guys
Speaker 8: to say God bless you the two of you.
Speaker 3: You know, they were just talking about Edmund r.
Speaker 8: Edmund's right here standing next to me in the booth
Speaker 8: and Colin yee. But the two of you all season
Speaker 8: long have just crushed it for Dodger fans and crushed
Speaker 8: it for us. I can't thank you enough. The broadcast
Speaker 8: team was fantastic. Everybody's done their parts, you know, from
Speaker 8: Nelson to Yeah. I mean, let's also Dwayne that was
Speaker 8: up here in the bootman Donald all season long. Rick
Speaker 8: Monday has been with us forever. But dB, this has
Speaker 8: been just one of the greatest years for me personally
Speaker 8: to just watch you guys and listen to the way
Speaker 8: that we bring Los Angeles like you guys will all
Speaker 8: day today the pictures, I mean, they just need to
Speaker 8: close their eyes and listen to you, because you guys
Speaker 8: are brilliant.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you for the opportunity, Boss, really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We're all replaceable, so we're very thankful that you chose
Speaker 2: us to be able to do this.
Speaker 3: Boss.
Speaker 8: Well, you guys have made it so that nobody could
Speaker 8: ever replace it.
Speaker 1: We've been a part of Lakers parades in twenty twelve
Speaker 1: and twenty fourteen, Laker parades in the mid two thousands.
Speaker 8: Yes, this is gonna take the case. This would be
Speaker 8: the biggest thing ever. I was talking to Lawn after
Speaker 8: the game. I've been fortunate in my career to be
Speaker 8: there for Bronco parades where a million people showed up
Speaker 8: out of one point two million in the market. I've
Speaker 8: watched great runs, Laker runs here, We've seen the Kings,
Speaker 8: We've seen a lot guys. Nothing, nothing that I've ever done,
Speaker 8: and no disrespect any of our other partners ever felt
Speaker 8: like what I just went through in New York. And
Speaker 8: the reason being is because five games against the Padres,
Speaker 8: the hottest team in baseball since June, six games against
Speaker 8: the met the hottest team, second hottest team since June,
Speaker 8: and then the Yankees in New York.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Speaker 8: I mean, poor David Bassey is so ready for me
Speaker 8: to stop texting him during games that he's gonna relax
Speaker 8: starting tomorrow, right DV.
Speaker 2: I mean, who is the steadying, calm voice of reason. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like I had to calm you
Speaker 2: down on a nightly not only a nightly basis.
Speaker 3: And you did.
Speaker 8: You're next job for you is psychiatrist.
Speaker 2: I play one on the radio.

Speaker 1: that starts at eleven, all brought to you by our
Speaker 1: friends at Yamaba.
Speaker 2: Tam social media. Dodgers are on this social media bus.
Speaker 2: This is the bus to.
Speaker 3: Be on live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: We'll be back, Tim Kates, David vat Say live at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. David is live on one of the team
Speaker 1: buses that will head off to City Hall in just
Speaker 1: over a half an hour for the start of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four Dodgers World Series Championship celebration, brought to
Speaker 1: you by Yamava as the Dodgers will then come back
Speaker 1: to the Ravine, a packed house already starting to fill
Speaker 1: up here at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 8: David.
Speaker 1: The tickets went on sale yesterday at noon lave me.
Speaker 1: I tried three different computers to buy tickets.
Speaker 2: You were acting really weird yesterday.
Speaker 1: It could not get tickets. Well, I had a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on me David to come through with tickets
Speaker 1: for people. Could not do it, which was a bummer
Speaker 1: because the tickets went so quick. Dodger fans bottom all up.
Speaker 1: They're all starting to get here. Dodger Stadium is filling up.
Speaker 1: They're showing highlights from the twenty twenty four World Series
Speaker 1: and the postseason right now on Dodger Vision inside the stadium.
Speaker 1: What's happening outside by the buses DV.
Speaker 2: Well, I just told you we got Joe Kelly and
Speaker 2: his live here Sho Hey, O Tani and Yoshi Yamamoto
Speaker 2: are going to be on this bus as well, among others.
Speaker 2: And I just saw Walker Bueller. Should I give away
Speaker 2: what he's wearing today? Should I give it away?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I will, Yeah, this is an exclusive right here
Speaker 3: on a five.
Speaker 2: Point seventy he is wearing one of Oral Hurt actually
Speaker 2: the road jersey that Oral Hersheizer war in nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2: No way, So he's tipping his cap to Oral Herscheizer,
Speaker 2: who has meant a lot to him in his career,
Speaker 2: and he's going to wear oral Herscheizer's road jersey from
Speaker 2: the October of nineteen eighty eight. So a tip of
Speaker 2: the cap from but Tane to the Bulldog.
Speaker 1: What an awesome gesture, I mean, nineteen eighty eight, so
Speaker 1: special what he did in the same kind of nod
Speaker 1: of what oral Herscheizer did in the postseason and going
Speaker 1: down and coming out and pitching in relief as a starter.
Speaker 1: And now to where Orl's jersey from the nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: eight World Series is something special.
Speaker 3: We of course brought I.
Speaker 2: Met you Dad, like I mentioned it too to him.
Speaker 2: I'll say it again when we were talking to Steve
Speaker 2: Sacks Walker Buehler went to the bullpen on his own,
Speaker 2: just like Orl Hersheizer went to the bullpen on his
Speaker 2: own in nineteen eighty eight. There's something special about a
Speaker 2: player that does that, especially a guy that's coming off
Speaker 2: to Tommy John Surgeries is a free agent after this parade.
Speaker 2: That just showed you how much he wants to be
Speaker 2: a Dodger, how much he wants to stay here, and
Speaker 2: how much winning a World Series with the Dodgers meant
Speaker 2: to him. She saved the Dodgers without him, without Keith
Speaker 2: A Hernan does, they are not celebrating today.
Speaker 1: You mentioned his future, Dave, This means a lot for him,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, but he's a free agent, and I
Speaker 1: imagine he wants to, if possible, try to stay in
Speaker 1: LA and wear a Dodger uniform forever he does.
Speaker 2: And look, the Dodgers probably start by offering the qualifying
Speaker 2: offer to him and Tioscar Hernandez. I don't think Walker
Speaker 2: Dueler is going to accept the qualifying offer because what
Speaker 2: he did in October certainly raised his value. One October
Speaker 2: run like that can raise your value. So look, he
Speaker 2: wants to stay, that's his first choice. He's told me that,
Speaker 2: But I mean he was looking at possibly getting a
Speaker 2: minor league invite or something a little bit more than
Speaker 2: that before October started with the regular season that he had,
Speaker 2: and he certainly stepped up when it mattered most. And
Speaker 2: if you go back, here's something else for you, if
Speaker 2: you go back to that team meeting in Atlanta that
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts had, Dave Roberts specifically, Oh there. He is
Speaker 2: a great Japanese. I'm not gonna say American, just a
Speaker 2: great Japanese Hero, The one and only Yoshi Yamamoto has
Speaker 2: stepped up to to really take inventory of what's going
Speaker 2: on on this bus. This is the a bus with
Speaker 2: his great interpreter and close personal confidant, Hero among with
Speaker 2: social media Sujo, social media hunter, right here on this bus.
Speaker 2: This is the number one bus on this parade route.
Speaker 2: And we're right here. Oh he's twerking already. Nice, Hero's twirking.
Speaker 2: Let's see what Yamamoto could do. That's gonna be a
Speaker 2: good time. Everybody's got their fancy new black championship t
Speaker 2: shirts on, their fancy new championship hats on. Everybody's loading
Speaker 2: up right now, Tim, and I'm doing a live radio
Speaker 2: show with you on Dodgers Radio. Nobody has ever done this.
Speaker 2: Ross Porter never broadcasts from a parade float in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty eight.
Speaker 1: That's the That's what you get here on a five
Speaker 1: seventy nine. Only do you get Dodger games. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: get off season Dodger talk. But when they win in
Speaker 1: a championship parade like this, in a celebration, you get
Speaker 1: the best coverage with David Vasse, the Dodger Insider. There's
Speaker 1: there's Dodger beat Riders but David is the the Dodger
Speaker 1: insider and he is on one of the team buses
Speaker 1: with Dodger players. The parade will start in about thirty minutes.

Speaker 1: to watch the parade here on Dodger vision boards. If
Speaker 1: you're one of the fifty two thousand plus that will
Speaker 1: be here for the post celebration on the stage in
Speaker 1: center field. If you're on the parade route, have fun,
Speaker 1: be safe. The buses are warming up, and we'll get
Speaker 1: more from the bus and David vast next yere on
Speaker 1: ANFI seventy l A Sports tim kates Li. I've inside
Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium, David Vassa on a team buzz as we
Speaker 1: have your exclusive coverage of the Dodgers World Series Championship
Speaker 1: celebration presented by Yamava. Inside Dodgers Stadium. It is filling up.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a sold out crowd here. When
Speaker 1: the barade is over, the players and coaches will return
Speaker 1: to Dodgers Stadium for an on field celebration. David Veasse
Speaker 1: is on a team bus and they've started the engines
Speaker 1: and they are minutes away from heading to City Hall
Speaker 1: to start this twenty twenty four parade. All right, before
Speaker 1: we check back in with David, let's go out to
Speaker 1: Blake Trolly KFI reporter Blake is at City Hall where
Speaker 1: the buses will be in about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: Blake, Yeah, the.
Speaker 9: Buses are right outside City Hall right now. They're about
Speaker 9: to be loaded up.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 9: I saw some people up on the roof of City Hall,
Speaker 9: and some of the people on the ground here were
Speaker 9: speculating that I thought those were members of the Dodgers,
Speaker 9: and people up on the roof were waving and the
Speaker 9: crowd was going wild. So whether or not they were
Speaker 9: Dodgers or not, it was all the same for people
Speaker 9: on the ground. They were just happy to wave and
Speaker 9: cheer on the team's fast guys. It's just a fact that,
Speaker 9: you know, this thing starts in fifteen minutes and people
Speaker 9: are still I'm at first in Maine and people are
Speaker 9: still showing up in drove. I mean, there's a full
Speaker 9: on nosebleed section for the parade itself today.
Speaker 1: How far deep do you think it is on the
Speaker 1: sidewalks on the parade route?
Speaker 3: Your estimation?
Speaker 1: We've seen two hundred and fifty thousand people at La
Speaker 1: King's parades and three hundred thousand people at Laker Championship
Speaker 1: parades outside Staples Center twenty years ago. Is it starting
Speaker 1: to fill in? Do you expect this to be a
Speaker 1: big crowd?
Speaker 9: I expect this crowd to be much more than they anticipated,
Speaker 9: At least I was told some sort of estimate of
Speaker 9: I don't know, one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 3: Looking more than that crowd.
Speaker 9: It's gotta be more.
Speaker 3: It has to be a lot.
Speaker 11: It's a great day to go to the DMV because
Speaker 11: I have a feeling the lines are very short today
Speaker 11: for people looking to capitalize on that. But you know,
Speaker 11: One of the things that I think is playing into
Speaker 11: the size of this crowd is not just the fact
Speaker 11: that they won the World Series, but the fact that
Speaker 11: they won one in twenty twenty, that they weren't really
Speaker 11: able to celebrate. A lot of the fans that I'm
Speaker 11: talking to here today say, look, we feel like this
Speaker 11: is the first World Series when the team has had
Speaker 11: in a long time, given that we weren't able to
Speaker 11: outset a celebration at twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Blake, we appreciate it. Safe out there and we'll maybe
Speaker 1: check with you a little bit later. Blake trolley from KFI.
Speaker 1: He has at city Hall.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: Well, the parade will start and let us less than
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Tim kats inside Dodger Stadium. David Vase is
Speaker 1: on one of the team buses that is filling up
Speaker 1: with Dodger players, one of many team buses DV that's
Speaker 1: about to make its way in zig Zagna City Hall.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now, I just got the sign that I
Speaker 2: have to get off from Will Smith. He told me
Speaker 2: he doesn't want me on this bus, but I'm staying on.
Speaker 2: Tim No, Yeah, Will Smith said, get the heck off
Speaker 2: this bus. No, but I'm staying on it. I'm stealing
Speaker 2: on this bus absolutely, and the buses right now are
Speaker 2: about to move, Tim, We're about to move out of
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium and move to City Hall. The first two
Speaker 2: bus have moved. We are now moving. I am now

Speaker 1: his fifteen twenty people deep of Dodger fans down the
Speaker 1: parade route. This is gonna be a monstrous celebration in
Speaker 1: the city of Los Angeles today, starting in just a
Speaker 1: few minutes. As you guys make your way to City Hall.
Speaker 2: We are now leaving the parking lot. There are Dodger
Speaker 2: fans that have lined the parking lots to greet the
Speaker 2: fans here to greet.
Speaker 3: The ope we may have lost David.
Speaker 2: They are celebrating their heroes. They are celebrating their World
Speaker 2: Series champions. This city is putting their arms around these players.
Speaker 1: Which way are you guys headed out, David? From the

Speaker 1: on Vin Scully Avenue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. We're leaving the Sunset gate right now. Tim.
Speaker 2: We got a police escort and the fans that are
Speaker 2: not in the stadium are getting a front row seat.
Speaker 2: So if you were here at Dodgers Stadium early enough,
Speaker 2: this probably would have been your best and closest glimpse
Speaker 2: at these players on the float.
Speaker 1: Dave, again, how many buses are you surrounded by?
Speaker 3: In which bus number? If you can tell? Are you on.
Speaker 2: We are on the third bus. So you got front

Speaker 2: at all these players, Tyler Glass now, who made huge
Speaker 2: contributions this year to the Dodgers. You know, Gavin Stone
Speaker 2: is on one of these buses. Let's not forget about
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone, who made more starts and pitched more innings
Speaker 2: than any other pitcher on the Dodgers this year as
Speaker 2: a rookie. You can't forget about guys like that. You
Speaker 2: can't forget about Andy Potter has and him basically being
Speaker 2: the starting centerfielder for the majority of the year. I know, October,
Speaker 2: the players in October and on that stage get a
Speaker 2: lot of attention, and rightfully so. But there's a lot
Speaker 2: of guys that contributed to ninety eight wins this year
