No words–L.A. Repeats–of Kirks, Views And Silence As Perspective
The Dodgers, a truly tremendous team, won by far, the three most competitive games of the 2025 W.S. including the “beyond the beyond” 7th last night, and repeated as title winners, denying the Toronto Blue Jays. L.A. (5-4) in 11 innings-Of Smith and even more so, Rojas “solos.” plus (actually a highly – situation) all one can say (when you say Kirk, you “brew” and it ain’t beer) regarding at least three “Kirks” and it more than “irks.”
6 years in a row— a Will Smith titles, with the L.A. catcher by that name, the far, far (ode to Messers Dickens and Colman) big contributor, no better “ejemplo,” than his 2 out, 2-0 pitch “solo,” that gave the Dodgers a (5-4) lead, they held to win their ninth crown, tying them with the A’s and Red Sox for third most (the Cardinals who have never won a repeat title, have 11 and the still vaunted Yankees have 27, their second won in 1927– and please do not confuse these lesser, lucky Dodgers with that team).
More incredible is the Rojas story, my incredible memory, recalling “never Cookie” and tragic involving Minervino, but this one, (Miguel) hit a 1 out, surely unprecedented in so many ways, “solo,” T9 to tie the tilt (4-4).
Enough, it hurts and for the record $$$ was won with the once loved, Dodgers. Notes, maybe opinions in the days to follow.
No longer, but once loved, were the Lakers and yes, the Dodgers.
I like “Mr. Roberts” (I did interview the great Jack Lemmon, who was in Mr. Roberts, Henry Fonda was Mr. Roberts both in the film and I believe on stage) and I love those/my great Lakers. (#21 is “Coop,” Michael Cooper and one day I will display a great interview he and I did).
Now L.A. has the Dodgers along with the Lakers (thrice, only once as my team) plus great, great college hoop U.C.L.A. under John Wooden as repeat champions.
