WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.040 Us right now alongside David Vassay our Dodgers World Series 2 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.720 Championship celebration presented by Yamaba live from Dodgers Stadium. As 3 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.080 we are minutes away from the parade at City Hall. 4 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.199 Tim Kates inside Dodgers Stadium, David Vassay is on bus 5 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.079 number three of a caravan of double decker buses that 6 00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.359 is getting ready to make its way to City Hall. 7 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.039 Has already left Dodger Stadium. Dodgers Stadium is starting to 8 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:29.559 fill up. 9 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:30.079 DV. 10 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.640 Where are you guys at in this caravan of buses 11 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.520 making their way to the fans of the parade. 12 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.880 We're about to jump on the one ten freeway here. 13 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.079 We've stopped for a second just to get everything organized 14 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.280 before they head to City Hall here, so all is 15 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.679 well and everybody is very excited. Now they're screaming at 16 00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.520 each other from bus to bus, communicating with each other 17 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.719 that way. So it's a good time. It's a good time. 18 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.000 Everybody's having fun. And honestly, Tim, like taosca Hernandez said, 19 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.960 I think back of how long these guys have been 20 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:07.040 playing and really putting their bodies to the test since 21 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:09.719 spring training. They went all the way to South Korea. 22 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.079 I think people forget about that. You forget about the 23 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:17.079 fact the Dodgers had to report earlier than any other 24 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:22.120 team in Major League Baseball and played longer than any 25 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.000 other team in baseball. The Padres were there in South Korea. 26 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.159 They started at the same time as the Dodgers, but 27 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.280 the Dodgers were the last team standing. That's what makes 28 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.159 this championship run even more remarkable. They have played baseball 29 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.239 longer than arguably any team in baseball history. 30 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.640 Yeah, it's crazy to think about the long journey of 31 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.840 this season. And you mentioned all the guys, David, that 32 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.359 are on these buses, and it's great to see guys 33 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.359 who contributed in some way or a lot of way, 34 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.920 or were starters all season long, or guys that maybe 35 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.000 got injured. You mentioned one name particular, Gavin Stone. This 36 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.280 Dodgers team isn't winning a World Series without Gavin Stone. David, 37 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.479 and what he did during the regular season, taking the 38 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.680 ball every five or six days, and then it ultimately 39 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.240 you know, he hurts his arm late in September, isn't 40 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.680 able to pitch in October, but he has a big 41 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:18.960 part of this Dodger team. 42 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.080 Yeah, when you think back to some of the great 43 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.120 moments of the season. You think back to Gavin Stone's 44 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.680 complete game shutout against the White Sox in Chicago. That 45 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.199 was unbelievable. That was one of the best pitch games 46 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.000 all season long. That wasn't a no hitter. You think 47 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.039 back to that game at coors Field, right. Remember, Jason 48 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.639 Hayward was part of this team. The Dodgers were down 49 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.599 what nine to five in that game in June at Corsefield. 50 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.280 In the ninth inning, they come back with a grand 51 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.120 slam from Hayward and the guy sitting behind me, te 52 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.080 Oscar Hernandez, one of his biggest home runs of the year, 53 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.919 a go ahead, three run home run to give the 54 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.520 Dodgers an eleven to nine win at Coors Field. Those 55 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.800 are the things that people that weren't following the Dodgers 56 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.360 or get caught up in October, forget about what the 57 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.639 Dodgers did in the postseason. Is what they were doing 58 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.599 all season long. And that's why, you know, people don't 59 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:19.800 give this team enough credit for the character they have 60 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.199 on this team. And look, Dave Roberts sees taking a 61 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.360 lot of incoming. You have to give him a lot 62 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.240 of credit for the job he did this year. I thought, honestly, 63 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.879 the last two years of managing for Dave Roberts have 64 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.719 been his two best years with the Dodgers, and him 65 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.439 just having a pulse for his team, And you think, 66 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.759 I just I feel like Dave Roberts gets way more 67 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.840 blamed than he deserves and in some ways gets way 68 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.879 more credit than he deserves. He's only as good as 69 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.120 the players are when he puts them in positions to succeed, 70 00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.680 and you think back to the great GM manager combinations. 71 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.719 We're on the one ten right now, heading heading towards 72 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:08.560 City Hall, and the one ten North is stopped bumper 73 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.400 to bumper, and the fans have just stopped on their 74 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:16.199 own and are taking video of the parade buses going 75 00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.839 in the opposite direction right now on the one ten freeway. 76 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.759 Yeah, watching you guys Dodger Stadium, and you can hear 77 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.600 the cheers here, David. They're now showing the team on 78 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.360 the buses making your way on the one ten two 79 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.759 City Hall, which you guys will be at in just 80 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.399 a couple of minutes. And then there's hundreds of thousands 81 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.439 of Dodgers fans aligned the streets of LA for that 82 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.680 one point two miles of this parade that will start 83 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.920 after Mayor Bass gives a speech at Dodger Stadium. Hopefully 84 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.759 the politicians will make a quick TV and the fans 85 00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.040 can get to see their favorite Dodger players. 86 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.879 Yeah, no doubt. And going back to my point about 87 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.319 the great GM manager combinations, Tim, you think back to 88 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.480 Brian Cashman and Joe Tory, John Scherholtz and Bobby Cox. 89 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.680 Don't you have to put Andrew Freeman and Dave Roberts 90 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.319 in that category. I mean, they're right up there with 91 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.680 Al Campanis and Tommy Lasorda right now. 92 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:09.920 Put them in that category. 93 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.040 All right. We're still moving towards the city Hall on 94 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.079 the one ten South the one ten North headed to 95 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:23.199 Pasadena right now. The traffic is stopped and everybody's honking 96 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.920 their horns. I'm not sure if you could hear that. 97 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.240 In the background, they're honking their horns and taking a 98 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.120 cell phone video of the parade buses headed towards city Hall. 99 00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.480 I'm telling you this city is at a standstill. I 100 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.040 know we had Blake Jolie on earlier. He's right. If 101 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.360 you need to go to the DMB, today would be 102 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.560 the day because nobody is working today. Everybody is in 103 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.639 and around downtown, or they've got the TV's on wherever 104 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.160 they're working. They got the radio on, the iHeartRadio app 105 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.600 on in their offices right now, Tim, it's all brought 106 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.120 to you by Yama Bah. 107 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.759 You can hear the fans honking at you guys on 108 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.600 the buses as you guys make your way on the 109 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.399 one ten South. Those are all hanks of horns coming 110 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.759 on the one ten North. And what a pleasant surprise. 111 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.720 A lot of those people are getting right now as 112 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.240 they're making their commute or their drive through downtown and 113 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.600 they're seeing double decker after double decker bus make their 114 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:18.319 way past them. 115 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.800 Oh, we're going underneath and underpass. Everybody down, everybody down, 116 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.160 everybody down. All right, we got underneath one of the 117 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.519 overpasses here, Tim, We're all safe all as well. 118 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.360 That was something in the King's Parade at twenty twenty 119 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.279 twelve that the flayers had to be alert off because 120 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:40.120 that low pass of the bridge there and the double 121 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:41.839 decker buses get pretty close together. 122 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.639 Hey, I just spotted the World Series Trophy. It's on 123 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.920 the second bus with Andrew Freeman and Dave Roberts We're 124 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.480 the bus behind the World Series Trophy with taoscar Hernandez, 125 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.839 Jack Flaherty, Mookie Bed Show Hey Otani Yoshiamamoto. Otani, by 126 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:02.279 the way, is at the back of the bus, sitting down, cool, calm, collected. 127 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.480 I'm not sure what he's thinking right now, but I'm 128 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:08.240 looking at him. He's very relaxed back there. He's just 129 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.879 taking videotape, and you got to wonder what's going on 130 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.480 with him as far as his emotions when it comes 131 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.439 to just what he's seeing, because he has never experienced 132 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:22.800 this ever, He's never even come close to winning the 133 00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.480 World Series, let alone being in the postseason in his 134 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.600 first six years. And he's just sitting back, relaxing and 135 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.120 enjoying whatever he's seeing and whatever we're seeing as far 136 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.720 as the fans go. Can you imagine if you're driving 137 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.279 on the one ten North right now and you look 138 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.800 to your left and you see the Dodgers parade buses, 139 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.639 and you look over and you see showy Otani just 140 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.800 sitting down with his hat backwards, just relaxing. I mean, 141 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.279 come on, only in La, Baby. 142 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.839 Only in La and they're showing fans on top of 143 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.920 the overpasses, climbing the chain link fence, yelling down as 144 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:56.680 the Dodger. 145 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.160 Buses as they make their way by. 146 00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.639 If you look to your left or right up the 147 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.519 in Bakvin's, David, they're showing fans that have pulled over 148 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.680 on the off ramps and are getting out of their 149 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.720 cars and looking and taking videos and pictures and waving 150 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.040 at the Dodger buses, which looks like you, guys are 151 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.920 now making your way closely into downtown as you exit 152 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.160 the one ten freeway there. I believe it's sixth in 153 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.040 Wiltshire or third Street there in downtown. 154 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.759 Ever, being here, you don't know where we are.

This is amazing, Tim, This is amazing, 166 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.360 especially in the cell phone age where you know, you 167 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.480 could just get out of your car and take a videotape. 168 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.240 I mean, now I know how OJ felt in the 169 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.440 White Bronco.
