The Los Angeles Dodgers' 2020 World Series victory was characterized by unusual elements including a neutral site and restrictions due to the pandemic. Celebrating their first championship since 1988 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texasâhome to the Texas Rangersâcreated an unforgettable experience for the team. Mookie Betts reflected on how the time spent there reminded him of the challenges faced during COVID-19 and highlighted the personal moments he shared with his family during the playoffs. This championship underscored the idea that defense is critical to success in baseball.
I think every time I come into this park, that situation in life - COVID, that month that we spent here, we were here for literally a month straight - just reminds you obviously of what we accomplished by winning the World Series. It's something that in life, staying in a hotel for a month, just life experiences you'll never forget, for sure.
They always say in every sport, defense wins championships. That's one thing I definitely remember. I remember down the right field line, I know people can't see, but my wife was always down there every game with my daughter. I remember in between pitches, looking at her, and we were doing our little sign language.
