Major League playoffs are about to get real. Dodgers have not been to the World Series since 1988. Getting to the World Series again is a feat in itself. But, I hope the Dodgers don’t stop there. I hope they win for Tommy Lasorda and Vin Scully. The fact that both are still with us is a feat in itself. We’re talking about a combined age of 179! Both of these gentlemen love the Dodgers and deserve a championship.
It probably won’t be easy. It’s taken 29 years to get here. For the Astros they were here in 2005 while they were in the National League. But, they haven’t won a World Series in their history. Which I believe is more than 50 years. If they win I can’t be a hater. That’s a long time to wait for a championship. They also have many great fans. It would take me an unforeseen amount of time to accept the fact. But, once I did I promise I wouldn’t be bitter.
Do I think that will happen? No! I believe the Dodgers are the best team in the majors. In my opinion this is the best Dodger team I have ever seen. I remember the great team of the early 80’s. But, only the end of that era. This team from starting pitching to the closer and starting lineup to the bench are deep and complete. Kershaw to Wood and Maeda to Jansen, I’m confident in this team.
I may end up disappointed in the end. But, that’s because nothing is guaranteed. I need to appreciate the journey and enjoy the show. Instead of expecting too much and stressing the outcome. I’ll be thankful for the experience. I probably won’t be here in 29 more years. So, I guarantee you I’ll be embracing the moment and realizing my Dodgers may never get here again.
