""I think Miggy said it best on the radio, about how special it is now for his life, the relationship with the fans. The outpouring of love and everything they are saying to him, and how it has changed his life," Hershiser told DodgerBlue.com. "If I relate it back to 1988, my life was changed too. So when that relationship gets established and then is passed on from one generation to the next, we have the Gibson and maybe the Hershiser."
"Such a fervent response is to be expected for a two-time Dodgers World Series champion, and especially so when considering Rojas was part of key moments. Rojas had a hand in the Dodgers' back-to-back wins in Toronto, as he fielded a short-hop throw from Kiké Hernández for a double play that ended Game 6, and he delivered a two-out home run that tied Game 7 in the ninth inning. Already a revered leader in the Dodgers clubhouse, Rojas has become ever popular amongst the fanbase."
Miguel Rojas visited Legends' Attic for a signing and appeared on ESPN L.A. Radio following the Dodgers' consecutive World Series wins. He exchanged jerseys with Jaime Jaquez Jr. at a Miami Heat game and presented an award at the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas. Fans greeted Rojas with chants, applause, gifts, and photos at the memorabilia gallery co-owned by Orel Hershiser. Rojas executed pivotal plays in Toronto, turning a short-hop into a Game 6 double play and hitting a two-out ninth-inning home run to tie Game 7. Orel Hershiser compared Rojas to generational heroes, noting the transformative fan-player relationship.
