I won't go crazy writing about the series, since I am not one of the several very good Dodgers oriented bloggers out there that will do a great job of it, but I did want to congratulate the former Brooklyn squad on its 8th championship.
I was happy to see a couple of Dodgers I really like play pivotal roles in the win, Walker Buehler and the MVP, Freddie Freeman.
Buehler has had a tough run with LA, with health issues all over the place. I thought highly of him early in his career, but he just hasn't been able to stay on the field. Maybe this is a turning point? Even if it is, I think it might be doubtful that he stays a Dodger next year. We'll see.
Conversely, I didn't think much of Freeman when he was young. I don't really know why, but he didn't click for me. But over the years, I've definitely grown to root for him. I like doubles guys, and Freeman is the current active leader.
Here are a card of each of them that I picked up recently. The Buehler is /99 and the Freeman /199. Not exactly "Dodger Blue", but I definitely like them both.
Nice cards. I've always liked the Dodgers and can't stand the Yankees so, it came out pretty good for me.
ReplyDeleteAs a Padres fan... I'm definitely not a fan of the Dodgers. But I definitely like a few of their players... and the list includes both Buehler and Freeman.
ReplyDeleteI have as many PC guys on both teams as I do Braves in the PC. go figure.
ReplyDeleteNice Buehler.
