I remember the 1988 World Series. I was at home with my foot up because I had sprained it playing volleyball. I can't believe that was the last time the Dodgers had won a World Series. Yet here we are tonight, with the Dodgers playing for for the title. They had gotten here 3 years ago against those cheating Houston Astros. But in THAT Game 7 Yu Darvish got rocked and that was that. That was painful. They made it again the next year but the Red Sox seemed so much better. Now the MVP of that World Series, Mookie Betts is wearing Dodger Blue. And so far in this Series he had been much better than advertised. It didn't look good at first. Their ace had completely dominated Dodger hitters for 5+ innings. But then in the 6th, inexplicably, their Manager pulled him from the game! Immediately the Dodger bats came to life. Scored 2 runs to take the lead. Added another run the next inning when Betts homered. And so it was that the Dodgers won, winning the series and winning the championship! How sweet it is! After 32 long years, the weight of dodger lore is off their shoulders! What an October this was! First the Lakers won after 10 years and now the Dodgers! The 2 biggest sports franchises in the city. Both got the job done. Both got the championship trophy home. YEAHHHH!!!!!
