<v Speaker 4>It was evident as we got going through the season

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 4>that these guys had their eye on the ultimate prize,

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.240

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.120

<v Speaker 6>Let's go.

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You always talk about other people, but I think why

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 2>we all love this great game is it takes us

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>back to our childhood in a backyard mom, Dad's sister brother.

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>What is Dodger Stadium?

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Remind you of the people who got you here, Dave.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we had Bill Russell, we had Reggie Smith.

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 5>You know, the great Tommy Lasord is looking down on

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 5>us right now, Fernando. And when you put this Dodger

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 5>uniform on, there's something special.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>four more wins, So.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 5>We got a lot of work today to do. And
