Dave Roberts captured the essence of the moment when he said, "It's certainly made up for 2020. But obviously there's a lot of players in 2020 that didn't get to appreciate and experience what we experienced. But this is for them too, and that's why, for me, I really wanted to highlight Clayton, because of what he's meant for the Dodgers and these fans for so many years." This quote reflects the emotional depth and shared victory of the team.
The 2020 World Series win was complicated by circumstances of the pandemic, lacking the celebration and fanfare typical of such an achievement. The recent victory, with celebrations in downtown Los Angeles and at Dodger Stadium, was described as a redeeming experience. This stark contrast between the two championship wins underscores the significance of shared celebrations in sports.
Many of the 2020 Dodgers champions had a second chance to bask in victory during the recent series, making the experience richer. Notably, players who missed out on celebrating in 2020, such as Kershaw, found extra joy in the public celebrations this time. The festivities revealed how important communal recognition and fan involvement are for players, particularly for those whose journeys to victory have been so varied.
