"When he came here, he was a fan. He was a baseball fan, kind of seated in the dugout seats, locked in on pitches and things like that. I'm just grateful he took the time to come here...He wanted to support another Los Angeles ballclub. He was L.A. all day." - Dave Roberts.
"It's tough, it's emotional." - Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, reflecting on Kobe Bryant's legacy and impact on the organization.
