Dodgers rally to beat Rays, capture first World Series title since 1988

Thanks for sharing.

I know I’m being childish, but I’m so glad the Dodgers beat the Rays. I live in the Tampa suburbs and since the TB Lighting won the Stanley Cup (Hockey) the TB fans have been slightly obnoxious. I shudder to think of how they would have been if the Rays won the World Series as well.

In bleed Dodger blue. As a kid in Pasadena I had a teammate in Little League whose dad was a sports reporter for the LA Herald. He got us lots of free tickets for good seats in the Coliseum in '59 - '61 and Dodger Stadium in '62 before I moved to Olympia, WA. I was also buddies with former Brooklyn pitcher and head Dodgers scout Ben Wade's teo sons, who lived a couple of blocks from me. One of my greatest memories was being at the Coliseum to honor Roy Campanella in '59. Seeing the likes of Gil Hodges, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Jim Gilliam, Wally Moon, Charley Neal and John Roseboro was amazing. And then there were the pitchers: Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Roger Craig, Clem Labine, Carl Erskine, Larry Sherry, . . .
