Speaker 1: Dodgers World Series Championship celebration continues on your Home of
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and five seventy LA Sports presented by Yamabad,
Speaker 1: David Veasse, Tim Kates, Colin Yee Here Dodger Stadium on
Speaker 1: this Friday afternoon, November one, the birthday of Fernando Vevenezuela.
Speaker 2: DV.
Speaker 1: Very special to have that happen today, the celebration of
Speaker 1: a Dodgers World Series Championship.
Speaker 2: And I know.
Speaker 1: Fernando was on the minds of a lot of Dodger
Speaker 1: people today, certainly a lot of Dodger fans here at
Speaker 1: the parade end at the stadium.
Speaker 3: Yeah, by just the looks of it outside, Tim, where
Speaker 3: the Vin Scully sign is when you come in on
Speaker 3: Sunset and Stadium Way. I mean that thing, I'd grown
Speaker 3: quite a bit from the last time I saw it
Speaker 3: after Game two of the World Series. Look, Fernando Venezuela
Speaker 3: will always mean a lot to this city for what
Speaker 3: he represented to the Mexican community here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: And you heard when Stan Casten talked about the Mexican
Speaker 3: fan heera got the loudest ovations, because, let's face it,
Speaker 3: Los Angeles is primarily a fan base that has the
Speaker 3: Mexican heritage, and you know, we celebrate that, and that's
Speaker 3: why Fernando means so much. You celebrate something like that,
Speaker 3: and look, Fernando. If Fernando is here today, he probably
Speaker 3: would not have been on the field.
Speaker 4: That's the type of guy he was. He would have said,
Speaker 4: that's for them.
Speaker 3: Unless the Dodgers told him to go sit down in
Speaker 3: one of those white folding chairs, he would have stayed
Speaker 3: up here and watched it.
Speaker 4: He may not have even come. That's the type of
Speaker 4: guy he was because.
Speaker 3: He was so comfortable in his own skin and what
Speaker 3: he achieved as a player that he didn't need to
Speaker 3: try to insert himself into what these guys are doing.
Speaker 3: All of us in the press box knew Fernando better
Speaker 3: than any of those players in the uniform because this
Speaker 3: is where he lived for the last twenty years.
Speaker 4: He was a great guy. And I just saw somebody.
Speaker 3: I had to take a double take because somebody was
Speaker 3: sitting at the table that Fernando usually sat at to
Speaker 3: watch his Mexican baseball team with his head down, try
Speaker 3: to be, you know, incognito. And you know that's when
Speaker 3: you see things like that those are reminders of us
Speaker 3: that work with him, that come back to you. But
Speaker 3: you know, Fernando will forever be remembered, not just today
Speaker 3: or this week.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it'll always be remembered.
Speaker 1: And you know, to have them put an exclamation point
Speaker 1: on this season after his passing is truly symbolic of
Speaker 1: Dodger Baseball. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven two five
Speaker 1: seventy is our number. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven
Speaker 1: two five seventy. You got to listen to the parade.
Speaker 1: You got to be a part of the parade. You

Speaker 1: on a five to seventy LA Sports eight six six.
Speaker 4: Not we celebrate.
Speaker 2: I want to apologie these apologies.
Speaker 3: Well, nobody was believing in what I was saying in September,
Speaker 3: Tim that this team was different.
Speaker 4: They not like us.
Speaker 3: I was trying to preach that message in September because
Speaker 3: I knew these guys were going to commit themselves more
Speaker 3: than what I've seen the last two years. So after
Speaker 3: you celebrate, you could send apologies my way.
Speaker 1: Let's start it off with mary Anne on the five Freeway. Marianne,
Speaker 1: were you out at the festivities today, either at the
Speaker 1: stadium or on the parade route.
Speaker 5: I was at the stadium and David, apologies to you
Speaker 5: because it was fabulous. Fifteen was different from the get go.
Speaker 5: Was amazing to celebrate with the Dodger fans, my Dodger
Speaker 5: family today and you know it was just too lecture
Speaker 5: in the stadium.
Speaker 6: You know, my best friend wanted her she just lost
Speaker 6: her mom, who was a Dodger fan, season ticket older
Speaker 6: since nineteen eighty one. It is an emotion day, and
Speaker 6: Fernando is thank you to all of you guys because
Speaker 6: you've been fantastic.

Speaker 6: It was amazing.
Speaker 3: Hey, we love you, Marianne. Thank you for the phone
Speaker 3: call and tim Uh. Look, we're on the front lines
Speaker 3: every night. We know how much this team means to
Speaker 3: the fans. I think you heard every person I spoke
Speaker 3: to they didn't understand how much the how much they
Speaker 3: meant to the city.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1: And to see these Dodger players soak it in was
Speaker 1: was awesome to see. And now they I think they
Speaker 1: truly do believe how much they are loved in this city.
Speaker 1: Eight six six ninety seven seventy part of our presentation
Speaker 1: coverag Chair presented by Budweiser. This Bud's for you and
Speaker 1: Bank of America, the official bank of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Dodger Bob in Malibu joins us here.
Speaker 2: On this all right, Dame Dodger Bob, are you doing?
Speaker 4: He was a dowter, You were a doubter. Dodger Bob,
Speaker 4: I remember you.
Speaker 7: No, no, sir, David Basse, I've been with you all along, Buddy.
Speaker 8: I'm a supporter of you.
Speaker 7: I'm a cameo lover of yours. I've been by your side, pal.
Speaker 7: No way, all right. I always thought this team had it, David,
Speaker 7: just like you said. And I gotta be honest.
Speaker 5: I want to point out.
Speaker 8: One thing, Tim, I love you. David.
Speaker 7: You pointed out a major point about the Dodgers and
Speaker 7: the Yankees early in the series, and you pointed out
Speaker 7: the faults that showed themselves in Game five, and I
Speaker 7: give you all the credit in the world. You said,
Speaker 7: none of the Yankees take the field the way the
Speaker 7: Dodgers do pregame and put the work in, and that's
Speaker 7: the difference that made that game. And you called that
Speaker 7: from the get go. So get your flowers. David Bassey.
Speaker 7: We all owe you a big one, buddy, because my
Speaker 7: family and I were out there celebrating at the stadium
Speaker 7: with you guys today. It brought my childhood friend Hug
Speaker 7: down from Presno Dodger Nikki and his buddy p in
Speaker 7: the car. It brought us all together to celebrate our
Speaker 7: favorite team. We've waited thirty six years, thirty six years,
Speaker 7: and it was worth every minute of it. Thank you,
Speaker 7: guys for all the work you put in.
Speaker 3: Hey, thank you Dodger Bob. I'm all in with you
Speaker 3: after that phone call, call back.
Speaker 1: Any time he drops the cameo of course, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he gotta feed the kids. Eight sixty six
Speaker 1: nine two five seventy is the Dodgers World Series Championship
Speaker 1: celebration presented by Yamabah Day. We found out after the
Speaker 1: World Series at least we found out. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you knew or not about the severity of the
Speaker 1: ribs of Freddie Freeman. We had heard about the ankle certainly,
Speaker 1: and what he did and suffer that ankle injury in
Speaker 1: the final home game of the regular season here against
Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres. Play with it all postseason long,
Speaker 1: but then we find out he's got cracked ribs.
Speaker 4: Don't be mad at me.
Speaker 2: You knew.
Speaker 4: I knew what.
Speaker 3: I could not say anything what Freddy swore me to secrecy.
Speaker 3: They did not want to give the opposition any sort
Speaker 3: of competitive advantage.
Speaker 1: So how much did it? How much did it affect
Speaker 1: him more than the ankle? Did the ribs bother him
Speaker 1: that much?
Speaker 4: I would say it did, really it did.
Speaker 3: And that's the reason why there were nights where he
Speaker 3: didn't plan in the postseason. It wasn't as much about
Speaker 3: the ankle as it was about the intercostal strain. But
Speaker 3: that's what the Dodgers. We talk about this all the time,
Speaker 3: right tim. I'm walking a fine line here. I'm walking
Speaker 3: a fine line where you know I I'm trusted with
Speaker 3: information and I have to filter what I can and
Speaker 3: can't say. I just posted a video earlier today on
Speaker 3: my Instagram at official Lyve Assay of a video of
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman taking hacks batting practice the night before the
Speaker 3: World Series. Those five or six days helped not only
Speaker 3: his right ankle, but the reason why he was swinging
Speaker 3: the bat the way he was was because his intercostal
Speaker 3: strain was completely healed.
Speaker 2: When did he suffer this injury.
Speaker 3: The day before the NLDS started, He was taking batting practice,
Speaker 3: So he's been playing with it all October, not only
Speaker 3: a severely sprain right ankle, but all of a sudden
Speaker 3: intercostal strain.
Speaker 1: I mean, he has to start wondering if he's snake
Speaker 1: bitten with the ankle injury and then getting the intercostal.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe you should stop throwing the medicine ball around
Speaker 3: before stretch. You know, that was a new workout routine.
Speaker 3: He hoped that didn't play into it. But I mean,
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman, when I was calling him, I know all
Speaker 3: of you thought I was just laying it on too
Speaker 3: thick when I would call him the most inspirational player
Speaker 3: in the postseason. The reason why was my wink nod
Speaker 3: to Freddy because I knew what he was playing with
Speaker 3: so he had to intercostal strain, he had the severely
Speaker 3: sprained right ankle, he had a broken right middle finger,
Speaker 3: and oh, by the way, he's still helping his son,
Speaker 3: Max Freeman come back from you know, the issues that
Speaker 3: he had to deal with. What an incredible year Freddie
Speaker 3: Freeman and his family had to endure.
Speaker 1: Well deserving then, and he gets the world's Yes MVP
Speaker 1: for the home runs that he hit in four straight games.
Speaker 1: And you can make a case carrying the Dodgers in
Speaker 1: the World Series offensively.
Speaker 3: Well, if you look at it, the Dodger offense really
Speaker 3: didn't do much of anything. It was Tommy Edmund and
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman for the first three or four games, and
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, that five run fifth inning
Speaker 3: happened in New York. Honestly, this is great to be
Speaker 3: on with you because I was traveling with the team.
Speaker 3: I never got to do a final Dodger talk after
Speaker 3: that game. And I don't know what was being said
Speaker 3: after that night. But the Yankees, as Dennis Green would say,
Speaker 3: are who we thought they were.
Speaker 2: We let him off the hook.
Speaker 3: They're a bad team to him, They're not a World
Speaker 3: Series worthy team.
Speaker 2: No, that fifth inning will go.
Speaker 1: I mean, they could probably make one of those thirty
Speaker 1: for thirties about that fifth inning. Yeah, collapse of the
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. I mean Aaron Judge still is saying
Speaker 1: it is a moment, missing that catch that opened the door.
Speaker 4: It's gonna haunt him forever. How's he going to bounce back?
Speaker 3: I mean, those are one of those plays that you know,
Speaker 3: New York fans will never forget. And let's not forget
Speaker 3: about those clowns trying to hurt Mooky Betts down the
Speaker 3: right field corner. I forgot to bring that up to
Speaker 3: Mooki in the emotions of the parade.
Speaker 4: I messed up. I didn't ask him about those guys.
Speaker 2: Just on a quick side. Now we'll get back to
Speaker 2: the phone calls.
Speaker 1: With that being said, there's a certain writer who I
Speaker 1: felt then magnetized or magnified this even more by doing
Speaker 1: a story on these twobe of poons.
Speaker 4: And he was so proud of the fact that he
Speaker 4: did it.
Speaker 3: You know, ESPN should be ashamed of shining a light
Speaker 3: on two people that you don't want fans to even
Speaker 3: come close to attempting. I mean, Mookie Bets was so
Speaker 3: vulnerable it's one thing to try to pull or slap
Speaker 3: the glove out of a player's hand going into the stands.
Speaker 3: But this guy grabbed his glove hand, tried to rip
Speaker 3: the ball out of the glove, and then his buddy
Speaker 3: grabbed the other right wrist. Mookie Bets was in such
Speaker 3: a vulnerable pazzition an injury. He could have strained a
Speaker 3: ligament in his right in his right wrist. That was vicious,
Speaker 3: and some would even say borderline assault.
Speaker 1: You can make a case they can press charges against
Speaker 1: the guy. They absolutely should eight sixty six, nine eighty
Speaker 1: seven to two five.
Speaker 4: Do you wanted to press charges? Why not?
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 4: You can't. They should be banned for life.
Speaker 1: Well, they weren't even gonna ban him for one game
Speaker 1: until Baseball stepped in. That's atraz And even then it
Speaker 1: was the Players Association who stepped in and told Baseball
Speaker 1: to do something about those two fans.
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. We go, We're here.
Speaker 1: Joseph is next up here on this special edition of
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: David Vasa, Tim Katson, You on a FI seventy.
Speaker 9: Hey, how you doing, guys?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 1: Joseph, you were at the stadium, what'd you think of
Speaker 1: the whole celebration, the performance from ice Cube, and then
Speaker 1: all the players, Dave Roberts bringing him out to speak.
Speaker 9: Man, it was unbelievable, just the whole atmosphere, everybody in
Speaker 9: the stadium. Ice Cube just one of the best experiences
Speaker 9: I've ever had as a Dodger family.
Speaker 4: I mean. And then where were you sitting, Joe?
Speaker 9: I was in the up in the reserve level section
Speaker 9: six with me and my brother.
Speaker 3: Were you, like Tim Kats refreshing on three computers to
Speaker 3: try to get tickets to the parade today the rally here?
Speaker 10: No, I got.
Speaker 9: I got on right right away, jumped in that.
Speaker 4: Wi Fi at the Kate's house. That word, yeah, she
Speaker 4: at the Kate's house.
Speaker 3: I think he still sees the spinning wheel on his
Speaker 3: computer wait to get tickets still.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was awesome. Just and the two things that
Speaker 9: really stood out to me. Number One, like you guys
Speaker 9: mentioned earlier, Klayn Kershaw, just his reception that he got.
Speaker 9: You know, I'm twenty eight years old, twenty nine years
Speaker 9: I'm going to be twenty nine in December, and every
Speaker 9: memory that I have Dodgers fan Clay Kershaw is a
Speaker 9: part of that he's, you know, the greatest fall time
Speaker 9: of this generation, one of the best ever to ever
Speaker 9: do it, and just to seem gets the reception that
Speaker 9: he that he got, he absolutely deserves that. And then
Speaker 9: number two, the other guy that got super emotional, Taskar Hernandez. Yeah,
Speaker 9: seeing the reception he got in everybody you know want Soto.
Speaker 9: This team doesn't need one Sodo Sosake. That's the guy
Speaker 9: that I want. I think would be a really beneficial
Speaker 9: addition to this team. But the number one thing that
Speaker 9: we have to do as an organization is resigned Tioscar Hernandez.
Speaker 9: And I think, you know, seeing the reception that he
Speaker 9: got to say, I just hope it just shows him
Speaker 9: how much this city loves them and how much this
Speaker 9: team needs them. And I think that's the number one
Speaker 9: thing we need to do as an organization.
Speaker 1: All right, Joseph Franks for the coup phone call. Glad
Speaker 1: you had a good time out here today at the stadium.
Speaker 1: Most importantly lucky to get tickets to this event today.
Speaker 1: Taoskar Hernandez got emotional, Dave, and that surprised me to
Speaker 1: see how emotional he was.
Speaker 2: On stage.
Speaker 1: They're holding the Dodger flag, the fans chanting his name.
Speaker 1: They were actually chanting when Andrew Freeman came to the podium.
Speaker 1: They were chanting, re signed Tao resigned to now when
Speaker 1: he was up there speaking and addressing the crowd here today. Realistically,
Speaker 1: can they bring back Taoscar Hernandez. This is a guy
Speaker 1: who could be signed to a long term deal and
Speaker 1: wear a Dodger uniform well number one.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers will offer Tioscar Hernandez the qualifying offer, which
Speaker 3: is twenty million dollars for one year.
Speaker 4: Will he turn that down?
Speaker 3: He may, There's a very good chance he will, depending
Speaker 3: on what his agent feels he's going to get out there.
Speaker 3: I know the Boston Red Sox tried to sign him
Speaker 3: before the Dodgers did this past offseason and just came.
Speaker 4: In very low.
Speaker 3: So I'm hearing they may try again to re sign
Speaker 3: Tioscar Hernandez or But for me, the sum is greater
Speaker 3: than the parts.
Speaker 4: Yes, Tioscar Hernandez.
Speaker 3: Is on the other side of thirty two, but what
Speaker 3: he did in this lineup I got. I love Taoscar Hernandez,
Speaker 3: but we have seen him in Toronto and Seattle.
Speaker 4: He's better when he's not the guy right.
Speaker 3: He's a better player when he's hitting behind Otani, Mookie,
Speaker 3: Freddie and even Max Muncy. If he goes to Boston
Speaker 3: and it's him Endeavors, you're not going to get the
Speaker 3: same type of results. And Taoscar Hernandez is a guy
Speaker 3: that thirty three home runs ninety nine RBIs big hits
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, no doubt about it. But what he
Speaker 3: did as a clubhouse leader and unifier, you can't put
Speaker 3: a price on it. I'd say bring him back for
Speaker 3: two or three years. I mean, it's only money and
Speaker 3: it's not mine.
Speaker 1: Kevin in Culver City, thanks for joining us here on
Speaker 1: this special edition of Dodger Talk Live from Dodger Stadium
Speaker 1: after the Dodgers World Series Championship celebration.
Speaker 2: Hi, Kevin, God is good.
Speaker 10: Let me tell you something. Two champions on the radio
Speaker 10: right now, Tim k and David.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I thought you only sweet talk me, Kevin.
Speaker 3: You've been cheating on me with Tim Kates on getaway days, Kevin,
Speaker 3: I thought you only sweet talk me.
Speaker 10: Look, you guys have been all been phenomenal. Everybody answering
Speaker 10: the falls into Burbanks, everybody, Fox Feel, everybody, the whole
Speaker 10: crew and It's just it's just a you know, true
Speaker 10: challenge what you guys have done for everybody, and this,
Speaker 10: this this World Championship is really a signal of that.
Speaker 10: You know, the Dodgers need so much for this city.
Speaker 10: What they how they bring everybody together, and that's what
Speaker 10: the Dodgers embody and that's why it means so much
Speaker 10: of the city celebrating this championship. I mean, it's a
Speaker 10: beautiful thing. I didn't get a chance to talk about
Speaker 10: that home run from Fam five Freddy, everything he embodied
Speaker 10: with Maximus and Chelsea in the family. For him to
Speaker 10: get that Kurt Gibson moment just says everything about this
Speaker 10: team and this storybook championship run. We've been on the
Speaker 10: catalysts of that who came back and gave itself to
Speaker 10: our team, and we didn't know he was coming back,
Speaker 10: and we all said we didn't care if he was
Speaker 10: coming back because number one was Maximus and his family
Speaker 10: in Chelsea. But he he sacrificed for us, and it
Speaker 10: means so much for this city. Mookie Betts coming back
Speaker 10: from from the hand fracture, shoy Otani selling it out
Speaker 10: with that shoulder grinding in our plane Clayton big Man
Speaker 10: Kirk saw the embodiment of being a Dodger for life's
Speaker 10: all about. You know, even though he said he didn't
Speaker 10: do anything, he did everything. He got us those wins,
Speaker 10: that got us that home field to start out in LA.
Speaker 10: So everybody was a part of this from top down.
Speaker 10: Andrew Freeman, Mark Waters, Magic Johnson making a trade for
Speaker 10: Michael Kopek, and Tommy big Man Eatman, I mean, this
Speaker 10: is what the Dodgers all about. And to Austar Hernandez,
Speaker 10: I mean just embodiment that home run in Game five
Speaker 10: against the Padres and to beat the Padres and the
Speaker 10: run we went on. This is the greatest run in
Speaker 10: Major League Baseball Championship history. And I'm leaving at last,
Speaker 10: but not least, Walker fleetfin Bueller coming out of the bullpen,
Speaker 10: channeling his curse, saw furious to close out the World
Speaker 10: Series for us. That is everything that the Dodgers are
Speaker 10: all about. All he went through to get back from
Speaker 10: too Tommy john surgeries, to put his team us on
Speaker 10: his back and sacrifice for us after winning the game,
Speaker 10: three two days rest, champions and one more thing. San
Speaker 10: Diego Padres, New York mess New York Yankees. They not
Speaker 10: like us.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Kevin, that's a good way to end it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a great call. Thank you for calling in all year.
Speaker 3: And look, he makes up a great point.
Speaker 4: Tim.
Speaker 3: They may not have had the ace that they've had
Speaker 3: in years past with a Kershaw, with a oureas with
Speaker 3: a Bueller at full strength, but ninety eight wins best
Speaker 3: record in.
Speaker 4: Baseball this year.
Speaker 3: They beat the San Diego Padres, who are the best
Speaker 3: team that did not make the World Series this year,
Speaker 3: they beat the hottest team in baseball, the Mets, and
Speaker 3: then they go into New York and win the World
Speaker 3: Series and beat Aaron Judge and the Yankees. Even though
Speaker 3: in my opinion, the AL was way softer than the NL,
Speaker 3: there's an argument to be made that this is the
Speaker 3: best World Series run in the last what thirty years?
Speaker 4: It's right up there.
Speaker 3: I mean, how many teams have had the best record,
Speaker 3: and with the added round of the playoffs, it wasn't
Speaker 3: like this thirty five years ago, forty years ago.
Speaker 4: Now there's that best of five round.
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to consider the ninety eight win
Speaker 3: World champion Dodgers as one of the best championship seasons
Speaker 3: in the last forty years.
Speaker 1: Steve sachsays, it's the best team. I said, above the
Speaker 1: eighty eight team, which you guys, a lot of people
Speaker 1: think overachieved, and the teams in.
Speaker 2: Between that was magical. And he said, yeah, this is
Speaker 2: the best Dodger team without a doubt that he's ever seen.
Speaker 3: Well, there was one Yankee team that won like one
Speaker 3: hundred and eight games, one hundred and six games in
Speaker 3: ninety six. That's got to be one of the greatest
Speaker 3: World Championship teams that we've seen in our lifetime.
Speaker 4: But this one's in the top five at the very least.
Speaker 1: I'd look at Walker Buehler out there today, Yeah, wearing
Speaker 1: the earl hirscheiserw jersey, which you broke, by the way,
Speaker 1: an hour before the prede even started. And I think
Speaker 1: about if this was a month ago, is that the
Speaker 1: same kind of Walker Bueler out there walking around, strutting
Speaker 1: around being Walker Bueller.
Speaker 2: He talked to me with it. I mean when he
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse when he was with you, and he said,
Speaker 2: I thought I was gonna get.
Speaker 4: Released, so that he felt he was that bad.
Speaker 1: And here he is strutting around, people chatting his name
Speaker 1: and He arguably one of the biggest guys out there
Speaker 1: today on that.
Speaker 3: Stage, and he's a free agent at the end of
Speaker 3: the year. No doubt the Dodgers are going to offer
Speaker 3: the qualifying offer. I'm not so sure it's as automatic
Speaker 3: as it was two weeks ago. Right that Walker Buehler
Speaker 3: was going to accept the QO, So he may say no.
Speaker 3: And I know at least six teams that are interested
Speaker 3: in signing Walker Bueller, So the Dodgers now have competition
Speaker 3: to re sign Bueller. And look at all the talent
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have. Other teams don't have this type of talent.
Speaker 3: Other teams are more desperate to throw money at guys
Speaker 3: to get them to come there.
Speaker 1: Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy. It's
Speaker 1: a special edition of Dodger Talk as we wrap up
Speaker 1: the Dodgers World Series Championship celebration, presented by Yamavah. Will
Speaker 1: take a quick break, we'll come back. More of your
Speaker 1: phone calls, Rogan and Rodney coming up at the top
Speaker 1: of the hour. We are live at Dodgers Stadium. The
Speaker 1: confetti still on the field, Oral Hersheiser still on the
Speaker 1: field here at Dodger Stadium wearing a Walker Bueller Dodgers jersey,
Speaker 1: as Walker Bueller was wearing guns Oral Hersheiser Dodgers road jersey.
Speaker 1: The celebration continues here live from Dodger Stadium on a
Speaker 1: FI seventy LA Sports Live.
Speaker 2: Everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: David mat Say Tim Kats Live at Dodger Stadium on
Speaker 1: this Friday afternoon. What a day in Southern California. It
Speaker 1: estimated two million in downtown Los Angeles watching the Dodgers
Speaker 1: parade through the streets from City Hall to the LA
Speaker 1: Central Library. Then they bust back to Dodgers Stadium. The
Speaker 1: gates opened in center field and out came the World
Speaker 1: Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers to a fulls Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 1: ready to celebrate on the field with him. And they
Speaker 1: did exactly that. Just unbelievable scene here at Dodger Stadium
Speaker 1: in the city of Los Angeles. I literally cannot believe
Speaker 1: what happened today. Just when you think you saw it all,
Speaker 1: this happens today.
Speaker 3: Well, the rest of the country, the rest of the
Speaker 3: world saw that LA is the most passionate sports town
Speaker 3: out there. When you win and you're a Dodger or
Speaker 3: you're a Laker, they are going to come out in
Speaker 3: full force. And like I said, I did cover the
Speaker 3: two thousand Lakers parade. I covered. We were all there
Speaker 3: for all three of those Laker parades with Shaq and Kobe,
Speaker 3: and then the Kobe Gasol.
Speaker 4: One, the only one. There's only two.
Speaker 3: I could compare this one to the first one when
Speaker 3: it ended at Staples Center and they went down Figaroa
Speaker 3: and La Live wasn't built yet, right, and those parking
Speaker 3: lots were full of people shoulder to shoulder. And then
Speaker 3: when we had the Lakers on Am five to seventy
Speaker 3: when it finished at the Coliseum.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ninety at the call seam alone.
Speaker 3: That's the only two that I could compare what we
Speaker 3: saw to. But this dwarfed those two championships. And I
Speaker 3: always thought this there hasn't been a Dodger parade since
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty eight. This city has been foaming at the
Speaker 3: mouth for a Dodger parade, and you saw what it
Speaker 3: could be.
Speaker 4: And I gotta tell you, Tim, being on.
Speaker 3: The parade bus with those guys, the parade route, it
Speaker 3: felt like it went by really quick.
Speaker 2: It did.
Speaker 4: Did it feel that way for you for I thought.
Speaker 3: Maybe just because we were experiencing it and went by
Speaker 3: really quick. But I would have made it a little
Speaker 3: bit longer. But obviously they wanted all this at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could have made it a lot longer. It
Speaker 1: was one point two miles. It did go pretty quickly
Speaker 1: once it started. You guys got onto First Street, made
Speaker 1: the town on to Grand and then back on to Fifth.
Speaker 1: It went really quick, and there were seven buses full
Speaker 1: of it, Dodger players and coaches and families.
Speaker 2: David, the fact that you were on.
Speaker 1: The bus broadcast, I mean, come on, I mean Dodger fans.
Speaker 1: I don't think you understand what it took to get
Speaker 1: David on the air. Then dvs in the parking lot,
Speaker 1: players are coming on. Then the bus ride over, and
Speaker 1: you're talking about the fans getting out of their cars
Speaker 1: on the on ramps and off ramps with a one
Speaker 1: ten freeway just to get pictures.
Speaker 3: I got to get props to our engineering department. Richard Ramos,
Speaker 3: Matt out there, Ricardos Sabria, Doug Irwin, Doug Irwin, Brian Blackmore.
Speaker 3: After I landed from Yankee Stadium, I went to the
Speaker 3: radio station and we try to figure out what would work,
Speaker 3: what would give us the best service to be able
Speaker 3: to broadcast from the bus. So they helped us out,
Speaker 3: and man, I hope you didn't lose that equipment calling,
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's a that was a surreal moment, right,
Speaker 3: I mean technology now to be able to broadcast from
Speaker 3: one of the buses. And I appreciate Sports Net LA
Speaker 3: for using us and letting us have the simulcast with
Speaker 3: the interviews like we've done all postseason long.
Speaker 4: So it's been awesome and I didn't expect.
Speaker 3: You know, Kushaw started to wipe away a tear when
Speaker 3: we were talking on the stage right there. You could
Speaker 3: hear him get emotional, but a tear came out of.
Speaker 4: His left eye.
Speaker 3: He was literally tearing up when he was trying to
Speaker 3: describe his emotions because he's a guy that wants you
Speaker 3: to believe he's invincible, right, so he doesn't let his
Speaker 3: guard down. But the way these fans, I mean, thank
Speaker 3: you Dodger fans for showing him how much he means
Speaker 3: to you and how much he means to the city.
Speaker 3: Because Tim, I think he viewed himself as I don't
Speaker 3: want to say a failure, but a guy that has
Speaker 3: let the city down a few different times and for
Speaker 3: him to get that. I mean, the one guy I
Speaker 3: wish that was on this team too was or two guys,
Speaker 3: Justin Turner and Kenley Jansen. I wish they could have
Speaker 3: been part of this team as well, because they would
Speaker 3: have got the same type of reaction from the crowds.
Speaker 2: That about it, Josh and San Fernando your next up
Speaker 2: here on.
Speaker 1: This special edition of Dodger Talk, David Vese Tim Kates
Speaker 1: live from Dodger Stadium on this Friday afternoon.
Speaker 11: Hey, how you guys doing today on this beautiful Friday afternoon?
Speaker 2: Doing great?
Speaker 11: Josh, I was at the parade route this morning with
Speaker 11: my brother. Thankfully my parents let me take him out
Speaker 11: of school so you get experienced it with me. We
Speaker 11: were on the corner of First and Spring. It was
Speaker 11: such an amazing event. It was like meeting up. It
Speaker 11: was like a family party, a large family reunion. Strangers
Speaker 11: that we don't even know treated us like family. And
Speaker 11: that's what LA is La Sports. Everybody who's in an
Speaker 11: ELI Sports fan, we're just family. And we all got
Speaker 11: to celebrate our boys in Blue bringing back that World
Speaker 11: Series title.
Speaker 1: Josh, what time did you get there this morning? How
Speaker 1: many people you think were around you? What time did
Speaker 1: you get there?
Speaker 11: We left the house I want to say at six
Speaker 11: thirty and arrived at seven thirty in the morning. I
Speaker 11: want to say there was at least five thousand people
Speaker 11: just in just down that street in at seven thirty
Speaker 11: in the morning. It was very, very wild to see
Speaker 11: and gathering right in front of city Hall. There had
Speaker 11: to at least be another two thousand people just there
Speaker 11: waiting for the ceremony.
Speaker 1: At How old are you, prety in the morning, How
Speaker 1: old are you?
Speaker 3: I'm a nineteen years old, so I mean obviously you've
Speaker 3: never experienced the Dodger Championship parade.
Speaker 4: I mean you could.
Speaker 3: You have to say that this team forever you're nineteen,
Speaker 3: will live with you forever, right, Josh.
Speaker 11: Oh, definitely, even past teams will forever live with me.
Speaker 11: I remember first really being able to pay attention to
Speaker 11: baseball what was really going on at the age of eight,
Speaker 11: that twenty thirteen Dodgers team. That was such a pivotal
Speaker 11: moment for me, and seeing the successes that that team
Speaker 11: has been going on and building up throughout the years
Speaker 11: to finally culminate with this last series against the Yankees.
Speaker 11: It's a very surreal feeling. It's one that I'm gonna
Speaker 11: be thinking about for years and years to come.
Speaker 1: Awesome, Josh, got to celebrate today with your brother.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Glad you made it out here.
Speaker 1: We're able to a joint Thanks for checking in here
Speaker 1: on Dodger Talk eight six six ninet eighty seven two
Speaker 1: five seven.
Speaker 2: Let's keep things moving DV. Mark and Long Beach joins us.
Speaker 4: Now I remember Mark in Long Beach. Were you a believer? Mark?
Speaker 4: Or were you the Uber driver? I can't remember.
Speaker 12: No, No, I'm not an Uber driver. No apologies from me.
Speaker 12: I don't stand a boatload of season ticket cash thinking
Speaker 12: the Dots are gonna lose.
Speaker 10: No.
Speaker 12: I like that, Mark until the last out they are
Speaker 12: going to win. I was at the stadium, you know,
Speaker 12: an hour ago or whatever it took from the freeway.
Speaker 4: What season ticket perks did you get today? Mark? What
Speaker 4: kind of season ticket perks did you get here? Okay,
Speaker 4: go ahead, so yesterday yesterday?
Speaker 12: Then he gave the sixth season ticket holders an early
Speaker 12: access to buy tickets today. I love it, so I
Speaker 12: jumped on that. I didn't get my season seats, but
Speaker 12: I got ones that were one section over, so they
Speaker 12: were almost the same.
Speaker 10: But I'm not relid.
Speaker 12: I don't spend that kind of money thinking that my
Speaker 12: Dodters are ever going to lose. So yeah, today was walking.
Speaker 12: Let me tell you a couple of highlight for me.
Speaker 12: One ice Cube. I was at game one, I was
Speaker 12: at game two when ice Cube, which I did not expect,
Speaker 12: came out on Game two. He fired up that crowd.
Speaker 12: I think he had a part in that victory on
Speaker 12: Game two. And then he came out again today and
Speaker 12: seeing Doc Roberts get out there and he's bumping with
Speaker 12: with ice Cube.
Speaker 4: Wow, what a highlight.
Speaker 12: So yeah, today was an incredible something I'll never forget. Also,
Speaker 12: one note on Walker Bueler. People don't realize that he
Speaker 12: hadn't pitched in two years, that he did not have
Speaker 12: a spring training. His struggles in the beginning of this
Speaker 12: year were his spring training struggles. He peaked, he found it.
Speaker 12: It came together for him at the right moment, and
Speaker 12: he was hot and in the beginning of this series,
Speaker 12: and I'm just a stupid MLB network talking about oh,
Speaker 12: you know, Walker Bueler terribly.
Speaker 13: Gave him fiebrus.
Speaker 12: They didn't realize if there was two mental errors in
Speaker 12: that inning and he could have got zero runs. But
Speaker 12: Walker Buhler was peaking, and I knew he.
Speaker 10: Was back, and I knew they were gonna win with him.
Speaker 4: All right, thanks a lot for the phone call.
Speaker 3: Appreciate it, Mark Man, Mark very aggressive season ticket holder.
Speaker 3: I felt like it was one of those guys that
Speaker 3: you're at a bar and they start close talking to you,
Speaker 3: like Rob Parker, and they're really aggressive when they do.
Speaker 3: All right, Mark, we got it, we got it, You're loyal.
Speaker 3: Let's go out to another phone call.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Paul in Long Beach.
Speaker 1: So stay in the five six to two there or
Speaker 1: the six to two, five six to two, Paul.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Dodger Talk with David Vassa and Tim Kats.
Speaker 13: All right, thank you so much for taking my call.
Speaker 13: There's so many moments here. I just had to highlight
Speaker 13: when Doc Roberts gave Blake trying to go ahead. That
Speaker 13: was a that was a huge moment.
Speaker 4: That was amazing.
Speaker 13: But I also want I just wanted to talk about
Speaker 13: the superstition too. Uh, you know, I I raked the
Speaker 13: Japanese Garden at cal State Long Beach, Daryl Burns Miller
Speaker 13: Japanese Garden, And when the Dodgers were down against the Padres,
Speaker 13: I put in a show he Hotani figure in that
Speaker 13: raped garden, and then they went on to destroy the Padres.
Speaker 13: The next series they lost the game to the to
Speaker 13: the New York Mets, and I went over there and
Speaker 13: the show Hay figurine had fallen over, so I re
Speaker 13: raked the garden and put them back in, and then
Speaker 13: they destroyed the Mets, and then I reraked it again
Speaker 13: for this world series, and they destroyed the Yankees. Is
Speaker 13: I'll tell you in Long Beach, it's a special special
Speaker 13: place where all Dodger fans. I was at the parade
Speaker 13: this morning at the corner of Broadway and First, So
Speaker 13: glad to be there. Go Dodgers, all right, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Paul nine eighty seven, two five seventy special edition to
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk Live from Dodgers Stadium. After a day of
Speaker 1: celebration here with Dodger fans sold out Dodger Stadium, they
Speaker 1: got to have the on field celebration with the players
Speaker 1: and coaching staff in front office. Ice Q performed this
Speaker 1: afternoon like he did before Game two. Dave Roberts out there,
Speaker 1: two of them on stage like it was a concert.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, DV.
Speaker 3: It was really cool Dave Roberts. He had some dad
Speaker 3: moves out there. I think his prime is behind him.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if his son, Cole Roberts was feeling
Speaker 3: his dad's dance moves out there.
Speaker 2: Back a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I love the way Dave Roberts really was
Speaker 3: out in front, as he should be because he gets
Speaker 3: a lot of criticism from fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does.
Speaker 3: And honestly tim him going out He said this before,
Speaker 3: when he's gone out to the mound. He goes out
Speaker 3: there and he's taking the temperature of Blake Trying, and
Speaker 3: obviously Blake Trining looked back into his eyes and had
Speaker 3: the conviction to convince him, I can get at John
Speaker 3: Carlos Stanton out, I can get us out.
Speaker 4: Of this inning. Forty two pitches for Blake Trying in
Speaker 4: Game five.
Speaker 3: Let's not forget he missed all of last year, came
Speaker 3: back and was one of the best relievers in all
Speaker 3: of baseball.
Speaker 1: Benny Illegion Park is next up here on Dodger talk
Speaker 1: with David Vese Tim Kates live from Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2: Are you doing, Benny? Benny's gone?

Speaker 1: East coast, celebrating long distance with Dodger fans today.
Speaker 2: Frankie, how you doing?

Speaker 8: Frankie Nva? Here first and foremost, And I'm kind of
Speaker 8: holding back likely and Crayshaw, but so just just I
Speaker 8: want to say thank you. For thirteen years I've been
Speaker 8: totally blind, so I truly appreciate the great professional play.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: How did Steven Nelson do. Stephen Nelson did a great
Speaker 3: job painting the picture for you? I'm sure.
Speaker 4: Tim ne.
Speaker 3: Tim never the season, Stephen Nelson during October, right, I
Speaker 3: feel like, uh, they did a great job together filling
Speaker 3: in for Charlie Steiner all season long.
Speaker 8: In the seat in my mind so so vivid anyway,
Speaker 8: So born and raised in New Mexico has been always
Speaker 8: great when the Farm Club was down there.
Speaker 4: Albuquerque Dukes, Yeah, we love the Dukes.
Speaker 8: I've been DC area for about eight years, so I
Speaker 8: always try to get to your NAT's Park when Dodgers
Speaker 8: come to town, and I always talk, buddy. I'm probably
Speaker 8: the loudest Dodgers fan in the park and so awesome.
Speaker 8: I'm so thankfully took my call. This is a kind
Speaker 8: of a cherry on top. I'm happy I found the
Speaker 8: parade on YouTube and then you're broadcast today and man,
Speaker 8: go Dodgers.
Speaker 2: All right, Frank you yeah, thanks for checking in with us.
Speaker 1: Eight sixty six at eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 1: things wind down here at Dodger Stadium. The confetti blowing
Speaker 1: all over Dodger Stadium, on the field and now into
Speaker 1: the stands as they take apart the center field stage.
Speaker 2: What an afternoon it was.
Speaker 1: What a morning had started off with with the parade,
Speaker 1: people gathering along the parade route beginning at five o'clock
Speaker 1: this morning. Two million estimated to be in the streets
Speaker 1: of downtown LA today.
Speaker 3: I feel like the fans, now what I mean, we
Speaker 3: want to keep the party going right where we're going
Speaker 3: I mean not don kuckos.
Speaker 2: Well you may not be going. I know somebody is
Speaker 2: going to don ku.
Speaker 3: Are you really you might have a post celebration. Marguerita three, Absolutely,
Speaker 3: I love it. Kates, get down, Let's.
Speaker 1: Go to Bob in Lombeach. A lot of long Beach
Speaker 1: love today here on post game. We're not post were parade,
Speaker 1: prost hobby celebration. I'll be down at Belmont Shore soon, Bob.
Speaker 2: What's going on? How you doing fantastic?
Speaker 13: First of all, I was one of those haters.
Speaker 2: I got a mat.
Speaker 14: And Mookie Best last year I was calling in blastphem.
Speaker 14: But this shit, they did a totally turn around. Freddy
Speaker 14: Threemer six home on and Mookie Best was the catalyst.
Speaker 14: He had more RBIs than anybody. He had fourteen RBI
Speaker 14: and he started to magic Man. The Dodgers was down four,
Speaker 14: five to nothing. Mookie Bett hit that ball in the
Speaker 14: first first place, and the guy you know, they misplayed it.
Speaker 14: And then the last out, the last out, he hit
Speaker 14: the sacrifice fly. Yees seven to six man. So I
Speaker 14: gotta give it, David.
Speaker 4: No, it's wrong.
Speaker 14: I was wrong, but next time I would not doubt again.
Speaker 14: It's the war dollars out there too. But I'm being honest.
Speaker 3: Hey, we love you. And Mookie was on a mission
Speaker 3: since spring training. I'll never forget the first day of
Speaker 3: spring training when I went to Mookie's locker.
Speaker 4: He said, I'm trying to win in October.
Speaker 3: We're gonna make right what has gone on the last
Speaker 3: couple of years. This dude had October in mind all
Speaker 3: season long. He said, it doesn't matter unless I do
Speaker 3: it in October. He delivered. You're right, Mookie Betts. I
Speaker 3: mean in twenty eighteen he wasn't the guy either for
Speaker 3: the Socks. In twenty twenty, he was the guy making
Speaker 3: great catches for the Dodgers, and you know he helped
Speaker 3: them come back in Game six against the Rays. But
Speaker 3: this was Mooki Bett's best postseason Dodgers Red Sox in
Speaker 3: his career, and I love that he wants more. I
Speaker 3: guarantee all these guys are going to want more. There's
Speaker 3: not going to be a hangover. They want to experience
Speaker 3: this again. I guarantee it. Baseball is not like the NBA.
Speaker 3: It's harder to repeat. Obviously, no team has done that
Speaker 3: since the Yankees with Jeter in the late nineties. But
Speaker 3: these guys are not gonna come back and say, all right,
Speaker 3: my career is good. They're gonna want more. And I
Speaker 3: think Andrew Friedman should bring in new blood that hasn't
Speaker 3: won yet to make the rest of the guys hungry.
Speaker 3: One guy that's really hungry is my guy, Blake Snell.
Speaker 3: He wants to be part of this.
Speaker 4: Oh really, Blake Snell. Huh? He opted out of his
Speaker 4: contract today.
Speaker 1: Blake Snell a free agents. That's right, could be the
Speaker 1: most sought after pitcher out there.
Speaker 3: Do you think La could handle snell Zilla and me
Speaker 3: in the same city at the same time.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's like King Congress is Godzilla. You know
Speaker 1: they should make a movie about that.
Speaker 4: They're not gonna like me.
Speaker 3: If we're together, it'll be snell Zilla every day on
Speaker 3: the pregame show.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, one hundred and sixty two games with
Speaker 1: snell Zilla, and he's the two time cy Young winner
Speaker 1: looking for our first ring. He'd be hungry. Hey, he'd
Speaker 1: be the perfect person to add to this roster. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers need pitching.
Speaker 3: I mean, they got through it, but if you look
Speaker 3: at it, the reason why they had to go to
Speaker 3: a bullpen game is because so many guys were hurt.
Speaker 3: Can he count on Gavin Stone? Probably not, he's out
Speaker 3: all next year.
Speaker 4: Probably.
Speaker 3: Emmit Shean. Can he count on him? He's coming off
Speaker 3: Tommy John surgery, River Ryan. Can he count on him?
Speaker 3: Dustin May no Tony Gonsolin. Maybe the Dodgers need starting pitchers,
Speaker 3: even if that Japanese superstar Rokie Sasaki may be released
Speaker 3: by his team in Japan. Jack Flaherty's a free agent,
Speaker 3: Walker Bule is a free agent. Rodgers needs starting pitching
Speaker 3: more than one Soto. Shootani's gonna be a picture that's
Speaker 3: right for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 12: Tim.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick time out.
Speaker 1: We'll come back, We'll get some more phone calls, and
Speaker 1: then we'll hand things off to Rogan and.
Speaker 4: Rodney your hand, Yeah, I love you, Rodney.
Speaker 1: Until seven this afternoon, A special edition at Dodger Talk,
Speaker 1: A great day of celebration here in La. The celebration
Speaker 1: is over here at this stadium, but we'll always move
Speaker 1: on and we'll remember it a day in La in
Speaker 1: which we celebrated a parade. And then fifty two thousand
Speaker 1: here at Dodger Stadium, and everybody listening.
Speaker 3: I've got aprecial attendance forty two thousand, four point fifty
Speaker 3: eight at Dodgers Stadium. Because the stage was there, pavilion
Speaker 3: was filled. The only reason why didn't go to fifty
Speaker 3: was because the corners in the reserve level were blocked off.
Speaker 2: We'd been nice to sell those because I would have.
Speaker 4: If it would have been behind the stage, would have.
Speaker 2: Been able to buy, you know, some tickets for the family.
Speaker 4: But bad Wi Fi. Blame your WiFi.
Speaker 2: Blame the WiFi.
Speaker 1: David, I say, Tim, Kat and you It's postgame, post
Speaker 1: celebration Dodger Talk here on an Fi seventy LA Sports
Speaker 1: Dodgers World Series Championship Celebration continues, presented by Yamabah, David Vassa,
Speaker 1: Tim Kase live at Dodger Stadium. What a day here
Speaker 1: the celebration inside Dodger Stadium with nearly fifty thousand here
Speaker 1: celebrating the Dodgers as they walked onto the field from
Speaker 1: centerfield on the blue carpet to the center field stage,
Speaker 1: all the different players, Dave Roberts speaking ice Cube, putting
Speaker 1: on a show here at Dodger Stadium. Hope you enjoyed
Speaker 1: it all the coverage beginning this morning, from the beginning
Speaker 1: of the parade with David Vasse on bus number three
Speaker 1: here at Dodger Stadium making his way over to Dodger
Speaker 1: Stadium with the team and then of course making that
Speaker 1: one point two mile trek from City Hall to the
Speaker 1: LA Public Central Library.
Speaker 3: Man, that was amazing, Tim, What a great day in
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, not only sports history, just a great day
Speaker 3: in the history of this city. The Dodgers, like I said,
Speaker 3: the Lakers are super popular, a global brand like the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: but in the city, the Dodgers have been the team
Speaker 3: since they arrived in nineteen fifty eight. The Lakers were
Speaker 3: not that team as soon as they got to LA
Speaker 3: from Minneapolis. The Dodgers have been that team going back
Speaker 3: to Brooklyn and when they moved here in nineteen fifty eight,
Speaker 3: and they've just grown. The passion for this team has grown.
Speaker 3: This team has wanted a championship and a parade for
Speaker 3: so long there have been I think back, timp Seriously,
Speaker 3: I've been covering the Dodgers since ninety eight.
Speaker 4: I think back to the Karros Piazza days. They couldn't
Speaker 4: get it done.
Speaker 3: I think back to Sean Green Adrian Beltrey, they couldn't
Speaker 3: get it done.
Speaker 4: There was some.
Speaker 3: Ownership issues between then and this Guggenheim group taken over.
Speaker 3: I've spent a lot of time with Todd Bowley, Bobby Patten.
Speaker 3: In October, Mark Walter I think they deserve a huge
Speaker 3: thank you because it starts from ownership.
Speaker 4: We've talked about this.
Speaker 3: If you don't have the owners that want to win,
Speaker 3: you're going nowhere. We've experienced that ever since the O'Malley
Speaker 3: sold the Dodgers, and I think Dodger fans everywhere should
Speaker 3: give a big thank you to Mark Walter, to Magic Johnson,
Speaker 3: to Todd Bowley for not just milking this team for
Speaker 3: everything it has, but putting a lot back into it.
Speaker 4: Whether look at the stadium.
Speaker 3: It's the third oldest stadium in baseball, and they've done
Speaker 3: so many great improvements to the stadium, to the fan experience,
Speaker 3: and it hasn't stopped.
Speaker 4: There the players they've acquired.
Speaker 3: What other team would go out after having Mookie Betts
Speaker 3: and Freddie Freeman and say let's get shoe Heotani. And
Speaker 3: you could talk about the deferrals all you want, but
Speaker 3: they committed seven hundred million dollars to show Aotani.
Speaker 4: At some point you're going to have to pay that.
Speaker 3: So I just think those guys, and Andrew Friedman, you know,
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts is the guy out in front. Andrew Friedman
Speaker 3: took over a team from Ned Coletti and things were
Speaker 3: going really well, but Andrew Friedman now has taken it
Speaker 3: to another level the way you would think the torch
Speaker 3: would be passed. And I actually thought it was symbolic
Speaker 3: as well. I'm a nostalgia guy. It was somewhat of
Speaker 3: a passing of the torch when Kershaw handed Walker Buehler
Speaker 3: the World Series trophy, like you're that guy now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Clayton even said it, Hey, no, they won
Speaker 1: the World Series. You know, he kind of took a
Speaker 1: back seat because of his injury in October, but no
Speaker 1: doubt he was still the main part and a huge
Speaker 1: part of this Dodgers World Series championship team.
Speaker 2: Want.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people who have helped out,
Speaker 1: not only today to make this broadcast possible, the postseason
Speaker 1: coverage possible, but the Dodgers' audio network and AM five
Speaker 1: seventy possible. It is a long list of people who
Speaker 1: do a lot of work day and nights, weekends, all
Speaker 1: the time. From Colin Yee, who is the best and
Speaker 1: the best and puts in a grind every single day
Speaker 1: and every single night, social media, Matt Craig Robbins here
Speaker 1: on side, Kevin Figures, Michelle Mo, Ronnie Fossio back in
Speaker 1: the station, Katie Newton who's helped out all postseason long
Speaker 1: as well into today, Bob Schmid, Dave Us, Brian Blackmore,
Speaker 1: Doug Irwin, Oscar from KFI. Thanks to Blake Trolley and
Speaker 1: everybody at KFI for helping out today. Corporn Carson was
Speaker 1: on the parade route, Joe Danner, Sochi Conseko, Chris Little, Robin,
Speaker 1: Bertolucci at KFI and everybody at the Dodgers from Jenny
Speaker 1: O to Lorenzo that have helped out this dodgercas great people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've been a big part of this broadcast, helped out
Speaker 1: of course throughout the playoffs as well, So it really
Speaker 1: does take a team on and off the field for
Speaker 1: this Dodgers Audio Network. So again, thank you to everybody
Speaker 1: that's been a part of making it. Poss'll forget me
Speaker 1: my man of course, the best for last, the great
Speaker 1: Don Martin for letting us do this today, giving us
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do it and uh just having a
Speaker 1: great time.
Speaker 3: Oh, the Dodgers just saved us my man. Sorry, Petro
Speaker 3: some money or not on today, So I had to
Speaker 3: keep the spirit alive. And you're right, Tim, This is
Speaker 3: really a family from the Dodgers to our iHeart family,
Speaker 3: and Lon Rosen and Stan casting O have treated us
Speaker 3: really well and gave us the access that we've had,
Speaker 3: and I just want to say thank you to the players,
Speaker 3: to Dave Roberts, to Andrew Friedman, just thank you for
Speaker 3: including me as much as you have. You can cover
Speaker 3: a team, but those guys have really treated me like family,
Speaker 3: and I just appreciate the trust and being with them
Speaker 3: since spring training. Think about this, these guys have been
Speaker 3: together since Valentine's Day. We've been to South Korea together,
Speaker 3: all the way to Yankee Stadium and winning the World
Speaker 3: Series Championships.
Speaker 4: So thank you to those guys for treating me like family.
Speaker 2: All Right, Dodga talk on Monday night, Dave, looking forward
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 4: What huh huh.
Speaker 3: Let's just replay today, Let's replay Game five forever.
